[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having 3 AP is a waste of money. I fully agree with this. Moving kids to a campus with middle schoolers in 4th grade isn't ideal. My experience is that the 4th graders are almost treated as middle schoolers, and there are unspoken expectations of them growing up a little too fast. But it is true that Oyster campus cannot hold that many people. So, I am not sure what the solution is. I also agree that by the time you get to middle school, most parents are tired, and they don't want to engage that much. Teachers cannot be that mad at that. It's logical that it would happen. Also, for a school admin that is quite disorganized, lacks transparency, and asks a lot of parents, it is a lot to expect from parents. If they want more engagement, then they need to figure out how to engage us more. Back to School night in person may help. Being better a communicating with parents may help. Being a little bit nicer may help. Some parents felt that some of the middle school teachers weren’t very welcoming. So many things to work on. Hopefully, the new principal will be the right fit to fix some of these issues. Not like Pineda. He was absolutely the worst person for the job. I believe that he made the already existing divide even wider.  His methods (intimidation, lies, threats, putting people against each other, inefficiency, lack of care, etc. etc.) only made things worse. [/quote]

My take: an outsider principal stepped on the toes of a group of entitled teachers, primarily from Oyster Campus. These teachers, backed by a clique of entitled parents (lawyers!), orchestrated a coup d'état. The truth of the matter is that Adams needs full attention from the principal, given its demographic composition. In my opinion, the previous principal focused way more on Oyster, an already well-endowed campus. [/quote]

Or perhaps his very public meltdown in front of his boss was what got him on the watch list? [/quote]
