[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At least now TJ has a principal who actually understands the courses being offered and is making updates so students get credit that matches the effort they put in.[/quote]

Having actually listened to him, he has little understanding of courses and curriculum. He just cares if there is an "AP" before the name of the course.[/quote]

He has been an FCPS teacher for 30 years.  
He has been an assistant principal for 20 years.
He has been a principal for 10 years.

And he doesn't understand courses or curriculum?

What he doesn't understand is that a lot of people want TJ to be about virtue signaling.[/quote]

So based on that timeline, it has been a long time since he has actually taught in a classroom. Maybe his dog and pony shows impress parents, but teachers see right through him. All he does is talk in circles with the occasional buzz word thrown in. He literally avoids meeting with teachers, either one on one or by department. He is impossible to meet with or even get a response by email and just seems content sitting in his ivory tower and being the face of TJ instead of actually being a leader. I can count on one hand how many times I have actually seen him out and about with students and teachers during the school day. [/quote]

He is your boss not your congressman, he doesn't owe you an audience.

And I have seen him several times at games and other afterschool events where parents are welcome.[/quote]

When a principal is more present outside of school hours and only seems to care about being the face of TJ for the parents and no one else, that is a problem. Considering that teachers are the ones working directly with students, he does owe it to them to actually lead and be present and active throughout the school day, not just for flashy public events [/quote]
