[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A parent with a kid at NCS. Those complaining about Maret HoS having a kid at Whittle, consider that NCS HoS / Head of Lower School have no kids. Seems that they never dealt with kids at all. There is no joy and no spirit / heart in this school. Overwhelming focus on DEI programming totally inappropriate for the age group (field trip to an AA cemetery in 4th grade, anyone?! Not kidding!). My kid likes her friends and it's a pain to move schools, so we are there for now, but I'd go elsewhere if I did this again. Teachers are hit and miss, some of the recent hires lacking any relevant experience. [/quote]

Nothing can be worse than a former whittle hos. [/quote]

Until you meet the current HOS from NCS with all her parenting advice. [/quote]

What is wrong with the HOS from NCS? [/quote]

She’s loves to talk about herself. Everything relates back to her… and her parenting advice is based on having a parent, not being one.[/quote]

This is a laughable statement. I consider our HOS an absolute treasure, as does everyone I know, and I can’t think of any instance where she spoke about herself.

I am so grateful for the entire leadership team that we have but especially our HOS. It is a terribly thankless job on so many levels. This is our fourth independent school across our family, and NCS knocks it out of the park. We are lucky for every minute that we have her. [/quote]

The Head of School speaks well and certainly has some interesting ideas. Unfortunately, that skill doesn’t extend to hiring or structuring leadership roles. There’s a clear lack of awareness around declining educational quality and some toxic leadership that really needs to go. And honestly, for $60K a year, I think I could do a better job brainwashing my own child.[/quote]
