[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are tons of black women leading DC schools who are lauded. I think Kaya Henderson is great!

Agree with your first statement....but Henderson is an idiot and a joke....and so are you for saying that she is great...name one great thing that she has accomplished....and I am talking about real concrete data.....she has accomplished [b]NOTHING other than take up space....lots of space....maybe she is the one who needs the gym membership....[/b]

:shock: I can't breathe either [/quote]

Just picked myself up off the floor.

PP, you are correct in that she hasn't made any real, certifiable improvements that can be supported by true data. (Ex: Sure, we can say we have more students graduating but how low did they lower the bar? And we can point to fewer suspensions, but that doesn't mean behavior has improved, only that they no longer issue suspensions for the same behaviors). However, she is wiling to listen--to all stakeholders and has made changes based on feedback from them. She also doesn't do the teacher bashing publicly. And she seems to be making a true effort to improve the system.

But you do have a point: After 5 years of little to no improvement, maybe she should be held to the same standard she holds teachers to and be let go. It's the same thing--many teachers try all their might and make real efforts but with little "impact" (pun intended :mrgreen: ). Kaya's doing the same thing.

Maybe it's time to bring in someone who will actually create standards for the students--standards for behavior & high expectations. They ask teachers to do this but won't support the efforts with District-wide regulations and expectations. [/quote]
