[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]100 percent? Really? Which class? We are not returning, looking for something more established, traditional. The school has promise and in a few years I expect good things. However, we are just not comfortable with our kids being pioneers. A 28 year old principal, no matter how smart just needs more experience in our view. Some people love that everyone is learning together, but it has its obvious downsides. We have a strong in boundary DCPS that we will try.[/quote]

Then why did you come to the school in the first place?  That really was a low blow.  The principal, in my opinion, is a great asset to the school.  Her age could be what helps her have the patience and temperament to handle issues as they arise as well as demanding parents.  I can say from talking to other parents, your opinion seems to be a very small minority.  When you have a principal that stoops down to talk to children at eye level, that picks crying children up to console them, that takes ornery children for walks around the school, that responds to parent emails same day, in addition to running a brand new school, you have a rock star in my book.  She handles things with grace and adds to the comfort level of the school.  I don't care what her age is.  You know your statement reminded me of a conversation I heard when one older mom of a preschooler (maybe 45) said that she thought women over 40 made better moms for various reasons.  Obviously, not true. Good moms come in all ages, colors, socioeconomic statuses etc.[/quote]
