[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The schools with the best teachers are the schools with the best principals.  Good principals know how to pick the excellent and energetic teachers, and then manage a positive workplace where the teachers can do a good job with support and with minimal drama.[/quote]

I think this is the thing - and it ties with the other thread expressing concern about the leadership of the Walls principal. My kid is having a good peer experience at Walls and is bummed that classes are mostly lackluster and teaching is really uneven (in terms of curriculum/content, feedback provided to students, and expertise of teacher). Kid was hoping for a super-charged academic experience with highly engaged/motivated peers, and that's not the day to day experience in the classroom. I'm hopeful to read PP's post about strong math instruction - maybe that will be in my kid's future!

One thing that's surprised me (though probably it shouldn't) is that the Walls admin team seems to be expending a lot more energy on supporting kids who are struggling than on providing enrichment/opportunity for those who aren't.[/quote]
