[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Clayton is a nice guy. Don’t believe these stories. [/quote]

Are you saying it didn't happen? Did he say that or did he not?[/quote]

DP.  He absolutely did say it.  And also, in some ways, he really is a nice guy.  I truly believe he cares deeply about each and every kid at Takoma - he has a heart for them and it's a warm environment in that regard.  But he's not a good manager or administrator, he has a tendency to be extremely defensive and prickly and he gives out favors to friends vs nurturing talent wherever it is found.  He treats teachers like his pawns instead of colleagues.  And he is -- I cannot stress this enough -- an abysmal communicator.  He rambles, he digresses, he backtracks, he alludes, he repeats, and in the end: he has conveyed no information.

He's a human person, not a monster or a saint.  But I don't think his personality is right for a principal position and I don't think he's doing a good job.[/quote]

This is a pretty good summation of Clayton. I would just add, he also lies incessantly. Whatever he tells you to your face will be the complete opposite he shares with someone else. Whatever is the easiest answer for him to let you leave thinking he is a "nice guy", so I can see why people are easily fooled by that[/quote]
