[quote=Anonymous][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]

Once again, he was an incredibly popular among teacher at WSHS.

And he doesn't owe you shit.  
He is your boss not your congressman.  
He's not going to buddy around with the faculty woke brigade.  If you are on the woke brigade and you don't like it at TJ anymore, then move to another school.  There are literally a dozen teachers at WSHS that would be happy to come teach at TJ.  
And aside from the woke brigade that wants him to continue Bonitatibus' efforts at maintaining racial diversity, the teachers there are either neutral or positive about him.
The teachers I know are pretty happy that they are replacing less academically qualified kids with more academically qualified froshmores and they aren't being pressured to prop up grades for the bottom end of the class.

The curriculum change might seem trivial to you but it is incredibly popular among the students.[/quote]
