[quote=Anonymous]Former MV parent here. I haven't read this whole thread, but I am sorry to hear things are still so bad. The year we left, two of the upper grades were without a permanent teacher for at least half of the year. When someone permanent did come, they had anger management problems that were overwhelming for kids that age. This year I hear from parents in 5th and 2nd that each kid has had multiple teachers as well, that there are physical fights in 4th (also true before the pandemic), and that the school does not communicate about when teachers come and go (also true before the pandemic)--parents have to hear about it from the kids. There was even a police presence to escort a teacher away before the pandemic, and the parents weren't notified.

In addition, what other school has a PTA that evaporates because all of the major officers switch their kids to other schools, and then takes two years to re-form? This is not a school that sees the enormous value of family contribution or is organized enough to keep a PTA in place. I know all places have their hardships, but I don't think there's been a stable year there for ages. I agree with the previous poster (p 1 or 2) who talked about the teachers being so miserable that they formed a union. The ED is nice but has taken on way too much and is not interested in letting go of the reins. So my short answer is to play the lottery and go elsewhere.
