[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those of you who didn't get a "lucky" IPL spot at Deal what is your kid doing this morning?

Mine got up for her 9 am huddle.  No teacher, no teacher, kids looking at each other, check emails, no email, no teacher, no teacher.

Logs off and is now back in bed.  Will try again for her next class.  It is a rare day when all of her teachers actually teach a class.  How is this acceptable?[/quote]

The Deal assistant principals are generally ineffective at resolving issues with teacher performance, and Neal won't touch it. Start sending emails to Neal and the AP, and copy the instructional superintendent for Deal and someone in the Chancellor's office. You need to start a spreadsheet tracking the dates when this occurs. Send your first email today and explain this the x time it happened.

It's important to keep the DCPS instructional superintendent and someone in the Chancellor's office looped in and for all parents to keep sending these emails. We have to give them the ammo if they [b]finally decide to remove Neal[/b]. [/quote]

Look, I get it—you’re unhappy with the way Ms. Neal has handled this year. I disagree, but I understand that perspectives differ.

But the idea that there’s some longstanding effort to “remove” her, that she’s “wrecked” the school as some other posters have claimed, makes me think this is not just about pandemic management; it seems more personal. As has been pointed out a million times on here, Deal is a massive school (way, way too big), which Ms. Neal managed pretty masterfully pre-pandemic. There’s a lot of anxiety about what’s going to happen in the fall, but I hope those who are unhappy with the decisions Ms. Neal made this year can focus on what it will take to return to full IPL in the fall rather than try to blow the place up.

Just to be clear, I don’t believe there’s any chance Ms. Neal is removed. But I do think the calls for her firing create a poisonous atmosphere that will make a return to normal difficult. I want kids to have a good year next year, something as close to normal as possible; that requires some goodwill and commitment from families to be constructive rather than destructive. [/quote]

Completely agree with you, PP. I am so tired of this vitriol against Ms. Neal. Stay focused on the fall, people. You are beginning to lose the rest of us with this sole focus on one person. [/quote]

I agree too and I have an 8th grader. I think Principal Neal is great! Removing her is just crazy! Assume angry person is totally irrational right now. The only person spewing poison are the folks here demanding everyone cater to their whims.[/quote]
