[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The principle’s communication makes it sound like 9 isn’t the start time despite APS saying it’s the start time.

More importantly, why the heck is she picking this totally stupid fight with a bunch of North Arlington families?  It’s not like these kids are all strolling in at 9:15 smoking a joint and saying we are not here to learn!?!!   We have been at Taylor for years, and this is just a non issue.  I’ve never heard of this being an issue at any other nearby schools.  It’s a made up stupid issue when there are real issues… kids needing to learn to read, learn to do math, challenging kids who are bored, etc.  [/quote]

Definitely, I have been wondering this too, maybe to deflect from these real issues at the school with students and guiding the teachers and staff to support the kids and their education. If she spends her time on a fight or stuff which is pretty trivial, I worry her focus is not on tackling the higher priority issues. If she is picking stupid fights with parents, hope it stays with parents and does not affect the kids and the school's teachers and staff.  [/quote]

Maybe she’d have more time to focus on real issues if parents weren’t so lazy or whining so much about getting their kid to school on time.

Tardiness affects accreditation.

Yeah but this is not an issue at any other N Arlington ES.   So it appears that the “tardiness” issue is either very specific to all the lazy ASFS parents (highly doubtful) or it’s an imaginary issue by some sociopath warlord who is hellbent on FOLLOWING THE RULES TO THE MINUTE. [/quote]

You sound a bit unhinged. I can't tell if there is one poster who is very irritated at the ASFS principal for this, or multiple. But of all the things to get worked up about, this just doesn't seem worth it. I have seen vague complaints in this thread unrelated to this tardiness issue, but no actual specifics.

There will always be things to complain about. The previous principal was uptight and strict as all get out.[/quote]

There are few specifics to share in a public forum that wouldn't violate a number of federal and local privacy laws and regulations, even allusions that are anonymous.  Those incident/s remain privileged information for the affected party/ies, some of which legally should remain that way, others the principal should or could notify class parents or the community but she has not in any of the appropriate instances where transparency is warranted.

As far as the vague complaints, community members have brought these to the principal (and AP's) attention. The principal responds both publicly and privately with defensive and repetitive, flawed circular arguments whether you are a teacher, staff, or parent/caregiver. When Principal Miller uses circular reasoning, she attempts to convince something untrue which in turn spreads false information, which is and continues to happen all school year.

Unfortunately, this circular reasoning can be persuasive if the community does not notice it. The ASFS community needs to think critically and ask questions. Morale among ASFS teachers and staff is low and the atmosphere within the school has become strained.  Some of these are workplace issues that are directly relevant to Principal Miller's management and communication style, and other issues are safety concerns for ASFS students, all of which reflect poor leadership. These detrimental leadership habits have significant consequences for the school. [/quote]
