I'm a former MV parent (pre-pandemic), and the letter sent in response to the protest was typical of the ED gaslighting we saw for YEARS.

One year we had a revolving door of teachers and the administration actually said to us that it wasn't a problem because based on test scores there was "no learning loss." Turns out the test scores for our class were the same at the end of the school year as they were at the beginning of that school year. Most people would read that as "there was no learning happening for an entire year" -- especially since the other classes in the same grade that didn't experience as much teacher turnover made the expected gains. But that's how they spun it.

They said this is a townhall meeting that parents demanded, and then they wouldn't let anyone ask questions! They just talked at us with PowerPoint slides and we had to submit questions in writing to be answered later -- but they were never answered.

I sincerely hope these protests are effective.[/quote]

+100. Even if the school is "working" for your kids--you have to know that situation is tenuous at best, given the lack of leadership. Next year, your child could be in a classroom that experiences all of these issues (and more!). When there are systemic problems at the leadership level, it's only a matter of time until your child feels the negative impact. That's why I don't get the "MV is working for my kids now, so I'm not going to worry". That's extremely narrow minded of you. What will you do in 2-3 years time as the school continues to crumble? You have to plan for the long game in this city.
