I would feel much more comfortable sending my child there if that were the case.

He was popular man.

Also many happy AAP parents. Though demographic mix in my child AAP class is 2 white children and all rest is Chinese, Korean and Indian.

Of course they are happy! They are completely separated from the “other” kids.

Not true.

Other kids in specials, strings, chorus etc.

That’s one special a day for 45 minutes. Most AAP kids are doing strings. So they only mix with other kids doing strings.

Other than that, they are completely isolated from the PBL kids. No shared grade level activities. No shared curriculum between AAP and PBL.

I am glad they schedule a meeting but two days from now is very short notice. It's going to make it hard for a lot of parents to attend who would otherwise want to come.

Reid does this to teachers too-last minute meetings and during times most people can't make it.

The contract ends end of the month so they may still get rid of him.

Navy is full of echo chambers, and it’s often the loudest who are heard. But I have spoken with many parents, and the majority do NOT want him back.

Also, I agree with your assessment that Navy would benefit from a principal that could bridge the divide. I’ve spent countless of hours at both schools, and one thing I love about Crossfield is the overall sense of community. You don’t get that at Navy. At all. Maybe a little in the lower grades, but definitely not the upper grades. Instead you get people who think of themselves in terms of being “aap parents” or “PBL parents”. And then can’t figure out why people are sick of the status quo.

What do you think will happen at this meeting? Will they come clean about Coch?

Marotta should be made principal.

+1 Marotta is outstanding. Maybe in a few years after he finishes his time at Bull Run, he can become principal of Navy.

Wish they would have a zoom option for the Reid meeting. 6pm is hard to make.

Is PBL the Navy word for what the rest of us call "general education"?

Sounds like a great way to pretend you're being accessible to your teachers/staff and parent community, without actually doing it.

Lol. Don’t be ridiculous. PBL would imply that there is some sort of meaningful project based learning going on.
