[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We were at Lowell and left, the year we left it was a mass exodus. Most left due to the gaslighting that occurred particularly in 1-3 grades as teachers refused to come back in person and the school failed to even acknowledge the issues students faced as a result. There were long-time faculty and heads of divisions who also left creating a major void in quality educators as well. The acting head of the preschool division was the aftercare coordinator who had no actual teaching experience. The communication within the school was abysmal with multiple day school closures being announced Sunday nights at 8pm when it was known by administrators school would be closed much earlier in advance.

I don't know which year you were there, but a lot of schools saw changes in their student and faculty/staff communities during COVID. All three of my kids graduated from Lowell in 8th grade and moved onto GDS both before and during COVID. Your post just isn't accurate. Having kids at two different schools I noticed that Lowell's response wasn't any different than GDS's. Also, every single school, teacher, child, and parent suffered during COVID. It never ceases to amaze me when I hear entitled parents acting like they and their children were the only ones in turmoil.

Finally, you complained about the Auxiliary Program DIRECTOR (not the aftercare coordinator) stepping in to serve as the interim pre-primary director without mentioning that her experience not only includes 15 years at Lowell running the aftercare and enrichment programs, it also includes creating and running Lowell's popular summer camp (which gets rave reviews and sells out pretty much every year). I would hardly call her unqualified, and given that the Pre-Primary students were the first of the school's three divisions to return to in-person learning during COVID, I think her experience served Lowell pretty darn well.

If you were in fact in a "mass exodus" two years ago and you are still on this forum complaining, I think maybe you need to find a new hobby.[/quote]
