[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was deeply saddened that this had to come from the principle.  I have no idea what the incident was.  But my reaction to the email was that unless a kid brought some sort of real weapon, kindergartners should not be receiving this kind of attention and, moreover, the message we entirely useless; a bunch of political nothingspeak.   I took from the message that a parent raised hell about some bad — possibly physical — behavior by a 5 year old, which while a matter for discipline should not involve the entire community needing to “feel safe” from a rabid five year old.  The fact that the leader of our school is addressing the entire community over this shocked and disappointed me.  Shouldn’t we be spending time on much different things?  Like kids who cannot read (and yes they exist at Taylor) or can’t do math or aren’t showing up at school or challenging our gifted kids?  What a freaking waste of time and energy and a [b]sad commentary on the politics of being a N Arlington principle with a bunch of snowflake parents.[/b] [/quote]

This is systemwide. But yeah, if the school doesn't let everyone know, some parents will complain "we have a right to know what's going on in our kids' school!" It's a no-win for admin. Nevertheless, I'm sick of these "notices" and letting us know "counselors will be available" if the other students were traumatized....
I understand "student privacy" but if you're going to send out an announcement, it should have at least enough information to give a sense of the nature and extent of the issue.[/quote]
