I'm going to check it out of the library just to read what he has to say about Alexandria parents.

Where’s the chapter titled, “Send your own kids to private skill while lecturing public school parents about privilege?”

I was wondering if the section “Placing Racial Equity at the Center in Alexandria” would need to be tweaked in light of the non-disparagement clause. I’m not going to read it, though. “Courageous and Bold Leadership Through Vision, Integrity, and Passion”? No thanks.

HA!

I have friends n the media who live in Alexandria and this point will be made at every appearance. I doubt he has an answer.

I highly doubt that any media he manages to get (local or otherwise) will ask this question. Unless the ACHS student reporters who scooped the Washington Post are asking the questions.

Also, back during the original time period the book was supposed to be released (May), he was speaking to/at education groups. This question will never come up at those events or on their twitter feeds promoting events with him.

If you're an ACPS parent, my guess is that you'll be getting a copy in the mail courtesy of taxpayers.

I'm looking forward to reading it and reviewing it on Amazon etc. Hopefully the release date doesn't get pushed back for the fifth time.

Margaret Lorber always seemed so clueless and out of touch while served on the ACPS board.

Her quotes in this article confirm she was indeed very clueless and out of touch.

She is so clueless and out of touch. She was also awful to parents and one of Hutchings biggest defenders.

My favorite clueless moment was when she was on a zoom with george mason pta parents. She likened babysitting her daughter's baby for a few hours to what parents were going through with online learning. It was cluelessly insulting. That was after she told parents they were wrong to complain. Too bad she didn't run again, she probably would have won.

Well if y'all weren't so ignorant and crazy you wouldn't need a combative superintendent and school board to keep parents in line

Hahaha, excuse me? How about you have your child slapped in the face three times, then go to the superintendent who'll just tell you, "Well that's too bad, but what good news can you share?"

That reminds me of the principal who told my kid that if he hadn’t been standing near his bully then the bully wouldn’t have had the opportunity to grab him by the collar and shake him until he fell. In the classroom. Next to his own chair. In front of the principal.

The idiocy...it seems like the norm in ACPS now. Bullies receive no consequences, and thus they aren't compelled to stop. You're supposed to tiptoe around these kids apparently.

His contract doesn't prevent him from disparaging parents.

Has anyone heard about candidates or how the search is going for the interim Supt?

I don’t know why any sane person would take this job.

I’d settle for someone who actually wanted to do the job they were hired for rather than using it as a stepping stone to launch a consulting business and publish a book.

Agreed, although I'd say "rather than using it to collect a salary while launching a consulting business and writing a book."

A book about things he and his co-author DIDN'T do. Hutchings didn't accomplish or do anything he lays out in his book in Alexandria or Shaker Heights. In the case of getting policing out of schools he did the exact opposite of what he is telling others to do.

Hope people are reviewing his book.
