[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a graduate of private schools, may I gently suggest that the principal should be a tough cookie (strict, setting high standards, holding students and teachers accountable, etc.)?

Per what you said, she was basically like that during the previous school year. She implemented many useless school rules that seemed to make no sense or even unfair I suppose.[/quote]

Which rules?[/quote]

There’s two that I could remember.

7:25 rule (I believe in which students should stay in the cafeteria before 7:25 A.M on a school day before the first period class begins, which seemed very unnecessary)

The clearly controversial rule involving every student in the school to wear their student ID cards throughout the entire day. It’s meant to create safety in the school campus but I’ve heard from the students that the ID card rule has been pretty annoying and unhelpful.

Parent and former teacher/principal (not in MCPS) here...

Principals can't win. You complain if they implement a rule like the one above to ensure students are safe and supervised (i.e. trying to make sure there no drugs and sex happening in the bathrooms...), and then you complain more when there are drugs and sex happening in the bathroom.

Please, PLEASE do not think you know how to run a school simply because you attended one 20+ years ago. And please, please, PLEASE stop making everyone who tries to run one miserable.  You're one of the big factors in driving out all the decent ones! [/quote]

Preach! Many principals left last year. Yes. MCPS was a mess but so were the unreasonable expectations from the public, at times. People have options and they followed through on those options. [/quote]
