I think it’s interesting to compare the teacher results with public perception. I’ve always felt my children’s elementary school seemed quite happy (Beverly Farms) and the results came out that way. It was very different from other Hoover schools like Wayside which I knew parents have been worried about.

See anything interesting?

They seemed more concerned with race than academics. In fact, it isn't concerned with academics or education at all.

+1 yeah 6 of the 20 questions had to do with race. None really had to do with academics or education. If you look back at older school climate surveys before this superintendent, there were questions asking if teachers had the materials and resources they needed, how is morale, whether the building was clean, etc. This survey is not an improvement.

McKnight has a savior complex, but in the end, she is failing to meet the academic needs of students.

Isn't that true of all Supers? They have to save the children!

Yes. 6 questions about race. While that is an important topic, the survey ignores other significant issues that affect student learning:

1. The students in my classes follow class and school rules.
2. When there is a student behavior issue, I am confident that the issue will be promptly and effectively addressed by administration.
3. The special needs students in my classes receive excellent support.
4. My class sizes are adequate and allow me to meet the needs of all learners.
5. The county curriculum is clear, filled with excellent support materials, and allows me adequate time to thoroughly teach the course.
6. I have sufficient planning time to thoroughly prepare engaging and (when appropriate) tiered lessons.
7. My room is clean and comfortable, with proper temperature and air quality.
8. The parents at my school are engaged and supportive of their children's education.
9. Students attend school regularly.
10. There is adequate security to keep students from skipping class and wandering the hallways.
I could go on...
