WES Head of School resigns

[Anonymous]

The early childhood director at WES left my child in tears one day. We left the school after that.

How dare you criticize when you do not know first hand that the ES head does not do anything but take notes when a parent raises a concern and the departing head of school practically yawns in your face in his dark office. The pair make it very clear they do not care about your child and take no steps to improve the classroom environment. If you get repeated complaints about a teacher screaming, belittling kids, and not teaching, then I expect at a minimum that the administration needs to visit those classrooms everyday.

Exactly! The fact is student enrollment for the fall is dropping from the 270's to below 240. If that doesn't demonstrate there is a problem, I don't know what else will. I am sure it is easier to pretend like all is well at WES and dismiss people who raise concerns.

Current WES parent here. Shame on both of you for:

1. Using an anonymous forum to attack individuals (HOS and head of ES) who are school administrators and cannot protect themselves against your defamation;
2. Implicating all elementary school teachers at WES while hiding behind the veil of anonymity and spreading hate;
3. Providing incorrect and unofficial enrollment numbers, twisting facts about WES. About 10 days ago in this tread, allegedly enrollment number at WES was down by 75 and it was supposed to be conservative! Where did the 240 figure come from? What is the gross figure or people who left, what is the intake? What is the distribution among lower school, elementary school and middle school? Is it the ES that on a gross basis 75 students departed? That does not look feasible from the enrollment figures since there are only 70 students in the ES. http://www.w-e-s.org/page.cfm?p=1681.

Shame on you even more if you are no longer part of the WES but use the anonymous forum to exact terrible revenge on the school disregarding negative externalities on the community.

It's ironic that you keep saying "shame on you" because that is EXACTLY the kind of thing that a couple of the teachers have said to students. It impacts every student when another student is told that they should be ashamed. Disgusting!

To 12:40 - The enrollment information posted on here is not incorrect. WES's target enrollment is 300. The current enrollment is in the 270's. The enrollment for the fall is below the 240's, in the 230's. That is about 75 students down from the target of 300. Maybe you should contact the school and ask about enrollment in the fall? If they give you other numbers, then the posters will stand corrected.

You cannot seriously state that there is a fall in enrollment by basing your decisions on a target number of 300. The current enrollment is 277 on the web page. So you interpret this as "enrollment was down by 23"?

The burden of proof is on those who present these "made up" numbers. What is the source? For those who are claiming fall in enrollment, what was the enrollment at WES 5 years ago, 3 years ago, last year?

You can say whatever you want using what benchmark you want. Student enrollment at WES is down and by a lot. Whether you start at 300 or start at 277, it won't change the fact that next year, 230's.

You wrote "shame on you" yourself and I only said it once...I do not know who the other poster is, but I assume they said it back at you. It was not me.

I wrote the post about the teachers, but two different posters wrote comments that another poster responded to with the "shame on you" comments. I think we are ALL getting confused now. I'm taking a popcorn break.
