[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oakridge is a mess. Seriously, it's a sh!t show. While the principal spends her time implementing draconian penitentiary-style disciplinary measures during lunchtime, she refuses to answer to the school's abysmal test scores, low teacher retention rates, failure to meet basic CKLA and SOL standards, the loss of the once-innovative expeditionary MOSAIC program (which is now just a de facto placeholder for her "Kindness program" b.s.), amongst many other issues. All while talking to parents in a fake, chipmunk voice no kindergartener deserves to be talked down to with. Whenever anyone expresses any concern about the direction the school is headed, she squeaks, "Don't worry! The kids are LEARNING! And they're KIND!" Gunston teachers would disagree, as they have expressed over and over that it's clear to them who the Oakridge kids are, because they are the least prepared of any area schools for middle school. I feel like I've failed my kid send them there. It's devastating. [/quote]

The principal is absolutely the problem. She has no clue how to manage behaviors. She is either "la la la restorative justice" or screaming at kids, and that's what teachers have to do too. My kids were there before the pandemic and all the teachers were very sweet back then, but the principal has done a terrible job adjusting to post-pandemic behavioral issues. And now she has to be extremely stern because APS has gotten so many complaints about her.

Also, the audacity of her to spearhead a "kindness program!" Good grief. She is among the least kind people I know. [/quote]

Don’t forget screaming at adults too. Very serious anger management issues.[/quote]
