[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just saw an announcement for my daughter’s elementary school… LCPS just hired us a principal with ZERO elementary teaching experience and a college degree from a place I’ve literally never heard of in my life. He was a middle school PE teacher for a few years. WOW. As a parent and a former teacher, I thought that the principal was supposed to be the instructional leader and be able to speak with experience to teaching students how to read and perform academically at high levels. It is hard to have confidence in LCPS’s pool of leadership candidates ATM and I am really bummed by this announcement… and feel for the teaching staff. [/quote]

OH FFS you are the worst kind of parent. Jesus Christ, Almighty.[/quote]

No she isn't. This is a reasonable concern.

If you have a child with an IEP who attends a school in LCPS, you get to know the vice principals well since they attend all the meetings. They work their butts off and are responsible for more than most people realize. In my child's time in LCPS I knew several who were trying to move up and they had to wait for a very long time. These were some of the best people I met in the school system. One of them is still a vp and should have been made principal long ago. I don't understand at all how experience as a pe teacher qualifies. I'd bet there are at least 5 better qualified, better prepared more capable vps who just got passed over. I never met a pe teacher in Loudoun who should be a principal.[/quote]
