Is it fair to discuss a specific principal on this forum?

Please keep in mind that you are not having a discussion with a couple of friends over a cup of tea, but posting messages that are immediately indexed by Google and available worldwide. As such, folks deserve a modicum of privacy. Topics such as an individual's reason for leaving, gossip about their performance, and/or their religion are not appropriate for anonymous discussion. If you would like to identify yourself, provide personal details, and allow the DCUM community to publicly evaluate your job performance, perhaps allowances can be made for your posts about others. But, short of that, please use some discretion.

If the principal is truly awful, then the majority of the parents at the school already know it. Our principal is awful, and everyone knows it. A new family moved to our area, and they had heard about the awful principal before setting foot in the school. So, talking about it here isn't necessary. And if anyone had a clue as to how to get a principal removed, I'm sure someone at our school would have taken action by now. Instead, we continue to suffer.
