[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, current climate at pds is horrible. Staff turnover has been huge, due to a new head. New parents may not notice, but as an alumni parent is is very disappointing to see the direction of the school. Well loved teachers fired or quitting due to her management. It's all about numbers and money now, no longer about a traditional, community based education with strong academics. Standards for admission have been lowered, the admissions director quit last summer. Head is bringing in her "yes" people, such a shame.[/quote] I am a current parent, whose child came in with the new head. I have "heard" these grumblings. But from my perspective I could not disagree more strongly and I think the changes were needed. The new head is great, approachable, and an educator and she has made some much needed improvements such as adding language and technology. I agree that this is a "gem" of a school that does an amazing job of focusing on the primary years. Most importantly, my kid loves it and is flourishing.[/quote]
