[quote=Anonymous]There is a significant staff turnover this year which isnto be expected under any regime change. However to even remotely suggest that the previous principal left under pressure is not accurate.  She had just had a small baby and was looking for something new. Additionally, if you really look at what's happening in the building now those who say that there is a focus on discipline and more rules must not spend any time  outside of early childhood.  Visit the upper grades where children are running the building, being contained in a back room and assulting the adults.  While things are different, few if any of us would say things are better.

The new principal has a target group of parents to please which the previous principal refused to do. Cooke will look different after the principal gets rid of all of the children and staff of color. Just watch the majority of her new hires this year.

ultuote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I heard a lot of teachers/staff are leaving this year. Is that true? If so, why?[/quote]

I haven't heard who is leaving so can't say whether that rumor is true. But in general I would expect high turnover in any school after a principal's first year, especially at a school like Cooke where the prior principal did not leave by choice. The new principal has a clear mandate to improve the school in a way that the last principal simply did not care about.[/quote][/quote]
