Try harder. I despite lazy accusations of racism.
Do you believe that the principal is immune from criticism because she's Black?
The fact of the matter is that the principal had ZERO principal experience before she held this position. How does a school of GDS' stature put in place a HS principal with no principal experience whatsoever? She is hardly visible around school. I have yet to see her at a regular sporting event. The students don't find her engaging. When I've seen her, she's not been enthusiastic, warm, or friendly. A HS principal has to be able to connect to students, and she does not.
A lot of people at GDS, including parents like myself who shell out $50K per year for the GDS experience, sincerely believe in the goals of DEI. But many of us are increasingly critical at the lack of effectiveness of DEI as it has played out in schools and colleges across this country. DEI programming is not working. Staffing schools with DEI people who seem to replicate what a good teacher already does seems wasteful. (That money would be better spent to pay teachers better and to fund scholarships, IMHO.) Students are afraid to have real conversations about diversity because the DEI administrators shame people into conformity and silence, and that's what they are modeling for the children as the appropriate response to different points of view. GDS has strayed away from its freewheeling intellectual roots, and it's a damn shame.[/quote]
