"You cannot use a democratic and collaborative style when crisis is rampant and disorder reigns," insists Kenneth Tewel, a former New York high school principal who now teaches school administration at Queens College. "You need an autocrat to bring things under control." Raymond Gerlik, principal of DeWitt C. Cregier Vocational High in Chicago, thinks Clark did what he had to do.
