[quote=Anonymous]I hope Patricia has learned something from her experience at Stoddert about observing first and getting to know the functional school culture before plowing ahead with big changes. Some were perhaps for the best but they were not introduced respectfully or diplomatically. This was very disempowering for teachers. Parents had no way of seeing any of that so literally took the ole and wave outside the building in the morning at face value. What they may have missed on those mornings were the frustrated teachers working hard to hold themselves together enough to face their kids for the day. They did not often feel supported or valued but did t want to create an uh unprofessional environment by speaking up too much. Several of them may also have feared for their jobs if they did as it was not good to be out of favor with her. That said, she does have skills and can be very pleasant. Maybe hardy will be a betterst h for her.[/quote]
