If a student forwarded an email like that spreading the same kind of rumors about another person, they could be suspended for bullying. I think staff should be held to those same standards.

I was wondering that too. I don't see a chain of forwards on the email, which makes it look like she is the one who originated it. Not a good look even if she just copied the message and sent it out. Like what are you thinking as someone who has been employed by FCPS. I also know at least one other FCPS employee who forwarded it. Like how poor is your judgment that you think that was a good idea. These people are lucky there's such a shortage. This behavior would get you fired anywhere else.

+1 it is not a good look for anyone on the staff, sub or not, to have forwarded that email. That is why Principal Simms-Smith has been notified so hopefully she can be dealt with accordingly.

To the parents and teachers involved with this effort to smear the new principal’s reputation, have you even once stepped out of your neighborhood echo chamber to see how this effort to take him down for literally doing nothing wrong comes off as racist to most of the Navy community?

You don’t like him, but you can’t articulate one valid reason why. You create a fake security issue to bolster your point and send mass emails to bring him down. This is literally so blatantly racist. Check yourselves.

That is what racists do. They isolate the individual they are targeting, ostracize them and gather up large groups to exclude and demean the individual to the point that they are forced out. Typical bullying racist behavior on the playground or the work world. Fortunately, we live in a day and age where the racists are easily spotted, condemned and called out for their behavior. People are much more savvy today, but a few others think they can still act like this is the 1950s.

I tend to agree with some of this but I can't go along with the racism accusations. These accusations are baseless and take away from your credibility.

Everyone knows who the racists are in the school, community and even our neighborhoods. It’s talked about openly. We don’t need your “credibility” when actions speak for themselves.

Your statement contains no facts in support of your argument.

Neither does the email about Principal Simms-Smith.

Matlock here (whoever called me that must be real old). The PP's statement (that the allegations concerning the principal are due to racism) is not based on any known facts. Just that "we all know who the racists are in the community." No we really don't and neither do you. There is no proof of racism and the person that sent the email is a POC herself. Similarly devoid of facts, is the email that circulated around. Neither are ripe with any factual information whatsoever. I will listen to neither.

I think you were called Matlock to mock you for being such dum-dum. Just sayin.

People do know who the bigots in their community are ... its obvious to anyone who pays attention. Just look at how parents and teachers stood up and had their voices heard for a man that could have killed someone with his car smashing into someone's house while throwing back a ton of alcohol. But the new principal gets greeted with torches and pitchforks at another schools meeting??!?! The last 2 sentences are facts. If you "will listen to neither" then why are you on this thread posting? Did the "racists in the neighborhood" comment hit a little too close to home for you Matlock?

Bingo. The only reason they wanted him back was to make their lives easier. They were used to coasting without supervision. As a result, their teaching suffered.

And our children continue to suffer their laziness. Every night we have to do homework and teach the material ourselves to our DC because the material IS NOT TAUGHT IN CLASS. The children are expected to stay focused but the teacher gives them nothing to focus on and then they yell at them. I guess having 20 weeks off a year is not enough to ease their bad attitudes.

What grade?

I'm not looking to give specifics on which teacher(s). Not looking to directly hurt anyone (unlike what they are trying to do to the principal). I just wish they would actually teach our children with the same level of effort they did before the pandemic.

Fair enough. Navy in general for us has been a very homework heavy school because they don’t seem to get much done in class. What isn’t finished in class usually becomes homework. It becomes tedious when it’s all digital and takes twice as long. The kids are kind of flailing around on their own in class. Last year my kid watched a lot of videos and YouTube clips for science and social studies and learned nothing.

Everything you just wrote is 100% what our child is going through. And I have talked to others that are going through similar stories in different grades with different teachers. I think the level of slacking is at an all time high while the level of work demanded of these children without guidance is also at an all time high. Of course, we don't want to let our child fail so we take it upon ourselves to do the work night after night with them, because the slacker don't care to do their job during the day.

Very much agree. I believe the switch to digital only is driving this. I also am hopeful some of those teachers will be weeded out with the new principal’s expectations.

I hope y'all forwarded that email directly to the principal so he knows what is going on.

Keep in mind there was an email, but also several parents sent the same message via text. Origin likely a group text telling parents to distribute.

The AAP teachers treat the students very badly. They do not teach and take pleasure in abusive behavior. These teachers really do not like the students and are always yelling at them.

And our children continue to suffer their laziness. Every night we have to do homework and teach the material ourselves to our DC because the material IS NOT TAUGHT IN CLASS. The children are expected to stay focused but the teacher gives them nothing to focus on and then they yell at them. I guess having 20 weeks off a year is not enough to ease their bad attitudes.

What grade?

I'm not looking to give specifics on which teacher(s). Not looking to directly hurt anyone (unlike what they are trying to do to the principal). I just wish they would actually teach our children with the same level of effort they did before the pandemic.

Fair enough. Navy in general for us has been a very homework heavy school because they don’t seem to get much done in class. What isn’t finished in class usually becomes homework. It becomes tedious when it’s all digital and takes twice as long. The kids are kind of flailing around on their own in class. Last year my kid watched a lot of videos and YouTube clips for science and social studies and learned nothing.

Everything you just wrote is 100% what our child is going through. And I have talked to others that are going through similar stories in different grades with different teachers. I think the level of slacking is at an all time high while the level of work demanded of these children without guidance is also at an all time high. Of course, we don't want to let our child fail so we take it upon ourselves to do the work night after night with them, because the slacker don't care to do their job during the day.

Is this happening in AAP classes, too?

The AAP teachers treat the students very badly. They do not teach and take pleasure in abusive behavior. These teachers really do not like the students and are always yelling at them.

I know exactly who you are talking about and we dealt with her too. I had PTSD about how bad that year was almost for a full year afterwards.

Either way, she forwarded an email filled with unsubstantiated claims to pretty big group of parents, which is completely unprofessional IMO. And she is old enough to know better. If a student forwarded an email like that spreading the same kind of rumors about another person, they could be suspended for bullying. I think staff should be held to those same standards.

I hope y'all forwarded that email directly to the principal so he knows what is going on.

Keep in mind there was an email, but also several parents sent the same message via text. Origin likely a group text telling parents to distribute.

I think it was probably copied into a text message from a drafted email. No one sits down to write a text out that long. The sub probably then copied it from her phone into an email to distribute it more broadly. Bad idea. Hope she’s fired.

To the parents and teachers involved with this effort to smear the new principal’s reputation, have you even once stepped out of your neighborhood echo chamber to see how this effort to take him down for literally doing nothing wrong comes off as racist to most of the Navy community?

You don’t like him, but you can’t articulate one valid reason why. You create a fake security issue to bolster your point and send mass emails to bring him down. This is literally so blatantly racist. Check yourselves.

That is what racists do. They isolate the individual they are targeting, ostracize them and gather up large groups to exclude and demean the individual to the point that they are forced out. Typical bullying racist behavior on the playground or the work world. Fortunately, we live in a day and age where the racists are easily spotted, condemned and called out for their behavior. People are much more savvy today, but a few others think they can still act like this is the 1950s.

I tend to agree with some of this but I can't go along with the racism accusations. These accusations are baseless and take away from your credibility.

Everyone knows who the racists are in the school, community and even our neighborhoods. It’s talked about openly. We don’t need your “credibility” when actions speak for themselves.

Your statement contains no facts in support of your argument.

Neither does the email about Principal Simms-Smith.

Matlock here (whoever called me that must be real old). The PP's statement (that the allegations concerning the principal are due to racism) is not based on any known facts. Just that "we all know who the racists are in the community." No we really don't and neither do you. There is no proof of racism and the person that sent the email is a POC herself. Similarly devoid of facts, is the email that circulated around. Neither are ripe with any factual information whatsoever. I will listen to neither.

I think you were called Matlock to mock you for being such dum-dum. Just sayin.

People do know who the bigots in their community are ... its obvious to anyone who pays attention. Just look at how parents and teachers stood up and had their voices heard for a man that could have killed someone with his car smashing into someone's house while throwing back a ton of alcohol. But the new principal gets greeted with torches and pitchforks at another schools meeting??!?! The last 2 sentences are facts. If you "will listen to neither" then why are you on this thread posting?

I hope she is planning on leaving. She is VERY cruel and does not deserve to teach children. Why do people like this go into teaching?

I hope she is one of the 7 leaving. She’s also a terrible teacher. Many parents complained about her to Jon and he didn’t do sh*t.
