[quote=Anonymous]Pride alienated both parents and teachers at Stoddert, while currying favor with DCPS decision-makers without ever challenging them, regardless of the short-term and long-term needs of the school. She knew she was only on an interim appointment at Stoddert, and it showed in the way she did business. Perhaps she will do a better job at Hardy in working hard to meet the interests of everyone involved, now that she has the security that a permanent position brings. But Hardy parents should ask themselves this: why did they only get to interview two candidates for the principal position, when other schools are normally given more choices? Certainly, Hardy was in an awkward position, with their principal resigning in the middle of the summer; but in that situation, most schools are given an interim appointment so that they can be sure they've got the right person in place for long-term leadership. Hardy parents were not given the benefit of that choice.[/quote]
