[quote=Anonymous]Prioritized on the children?  By bullying and threatening good teachers?  I am not a high maintenance parent, but good teachers were getting ready to walk and turned to parents after trying repeatedly to meet to discuss problems with the principal directly who then ignored them.  The teacher who was last year's union rep (and a very good teacher) left last year to go to another ward 3 school because of the conflict the principal instigated.

She has a very authoritarian style and would avoid answering e-mails and notes unless they were about logistical questions - direct experience.  Condescending in meetings with all parties.  Lafayette works since it has a principal who knows how to work with staff and parents.  This one did not have that set of skills.

As for the AP, she had a baby last year and has decided that regular teaching hours would be better for managing her home life with a toddler - something most of us understand.

It's not the school:  those of you who haven't been forced to this crazy principal selection system have no idea how hard it is to really screen someone when you only get a one hour scripted conversation with the avaialble pool.  It's a broken process. [/quote]
