"她现在要去见校长。"
Translation:She needs to go see the principal now.

But there are many sentences in this course where 要 is translated as "want", so why is it not possible here?
Should this also accept "She needs to go to the principal now"? The "see" is implied.
yes, I think most English speakers in England would say that. I have reported this.
I wrote 'he' instead of she - this should be accepted as they sound exactly the same!
it was a recording though hence there was no way to differentiate between 他/她 as they have the same pronunciation
for people who are using duo on computer and typing in chinese characters instead of clicking at the text options (which imo is the better way to learn chinese), there is no way to distinguish between he and she from the audio. it's very frustrating.
At a guess: I think 要 can't mean "will" since 现在 is in the sentence (meaning "now"). Also, while the British "headmaster" should be accepted for 校长, Duolingo might insist on "principal."
She needs to go see the principle now. Instead of: She needs to go to see the principal now. Really?!

I think you made the same mistake I just made: "principal" is a job role, whereas "principle" is a held belief. Schools have "good principals" which help raise children with "good principles."
God this lesson is frustrating.
"She now has to go and see the principal." Should be accepted.
