[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't help but feel even more DISGUSTED about the POTOMAC SCHOOL after reading this Washington Post article posted on 7/1/2014. I find the whole "cover-up" by their "Old Regime" (faculty, staff, and administration) completely REPULSIVE!! I cannot believe they did not FIRE him, but instead, just sent him to Counseling and then PROMOTED him to be the Head of one of their Schools! It's OUTRAGEOUS!!! This scandal should definitely hurt their reputation and enrollments ... What parent with a good conscious would want their child(ren) to attend a school with such LOW MORALS?!?

As if the previous 2 articles published back in Oct/Nov 2013 about that CHILD MOLESTER of a "teacher" (if you can call him that) weren't bad enough! ...

I understand your outrage but please remember that NO ONE involved in any of this story has worked at the school in at least 20 years.[/quote]

How can you make that assumption without truly knowing?  Do we really "know" which administrators, faculty, and staff were involved in this case?  And whether they are still at the Potomac School?  If you research or read the biographies of some of the current staff, you will find there are lots of them who have been at the school for over 20 years ...

The article also stated that "The investigation also turned up 'credible allegations' that three other former employees engaged in misconduct that included inappropriate sexual behavior with students but were never reported to the school." ... http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/crime/potomac-school-investigation-uncovers-more-alleged-abuse/2014/06/30/57abfa0e-0072-11e4-8fd0-3a663dfa68ac_story.html

Calm down, Josephine McCarthy.

If your child goes there, apply him/her out if you like.  If Potomac was on your list, cross it off if you like.

Based upon the Post reporting, the school has been unusually transparent in its response and clearly is taking things seriously.  Absent the invention of a time machine (which would be booked up for months in advance with people going back to try to kill Hitler), probably that is all that can be done.[/quote]
