[quote=Anonymous]For all of the people that say the disastrous admin and environment have no impact on kids, think about:

Culture: Friends and beloved teachers constantly leaving, limited activities outside of academic clubs, tense interactions at almost every school function due to a constant stream of unfulfilled promises and lack of transparency from admin, having an inexperienced interim HoS make decisions that result in poor teacher morale

Staffing: Not understanding that it is important to have an HoS with independent/private school experience vs. managing like a public charter school, staff turnover — replacing experienced teachers with new unproven teachers and “teaching fellows”, taking too long to address underperforming teachers and gaps in curriculum

Financial: Selling the school to Chinese investors who are focused on ROI first, trying to rent out half of the SCHOOL building to a business — instead of building it out as promised to allow more separation across pre-K-12, doing remote learning while 1/2 of the building sat empty, renting out the parking lot to a construction company, letting go of staff and leaving vacancies for the majority of the school year — including HoS,  charging parents for “after care” during the last week of school year to stay beyond 1:00 pm

Physical Environment: No library, limited technology, an elementary school sized gym, a playground that is a converted parking lot, not opening a cafeteria as promised, kids scrambling amongst construction workers at pick up

And the above are only some of the impacts.[/quote]
