I was wondering why did Mr Woodman always pick on Mr Kotter Class.

Because they were supposed to be the "special" class in the school. I don't think they meant "special" as in learning disabled though - it was more because the students were lazy about school or were from disadvantaged backgrounds (poor).

Also, Mr. Kotter himself had been the same type of student when he went there and Mr. Woodman didn't like him then either.

When I would watch Welcome Back Kotter I through Mr Woodman was mean

he was .

He scared me.

^ I can see that. He wasn't a nice man at all. It makes you wonder why he would end up being a principal of a school since it seemed he didn't like kids.

did Mr Wooman ever become The Principal of The School

Yes he did. In the first show of the final season, he was promoted to principal after Mr. Lazarus retired and Gabe became Vice Principal. It was the first of a two part episode where the sweathogs dropped after Gabe gave them detention.

I am glad he was not my Principal

I loved that little "snow capped leprechan"! :happyface

I never really liked Mr. Woodman but I thought John Sylvester White did a great job playing him.

I had a Principal that was mean like Mr. Woodman. I hated that guy. lol

I think as a principal you kind of have to be TOUGH on the outside since there are so many kids you have to monitor-lol

Mr Woodman was so mean when he would yell I would put my TV on Mute
