[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents are mad because the principal is trying to mainstream curriculum?  Marion Barry may have made history but he was a corrupt opportunist who positioned himself as a champion of building the black middle class to benefit himself. He should have been a champion of educating to one's greatest potential.  I would be concerned with how Marion Barry is being presented to a roomful of kids.

Besides, the media wasn't contacted by the school and/or administrators so it's just a tabloid one sided version of whatever the truth may be.[/quote]

1. What is it about DC that attracts such idiot/ego-tripping, power-playing school administrators?

2. I think parents are more pissed that the administrator is a maniacal ego-trip who's a micromanager to the point of running off teachers in droves. Good parents realize high teacher turnover is bad for their children's educational experience. What must their learning experience be like with several new teachers in one school year and subs in between?

I really think it's less about what's being taught. They're just throwing their support behind the wronged teachers.

3. That principal needs to go ASAP! And all of a DC (public & charters ) need training on what true school leadership means.[/quote]

All of what you said may be true but the linked article states that the teachers were supposedly fired because a standard curriculum had been adopted and they were teaching outside that curriculum.  It sounds more like a case of insubordination that anything else.[/quote]
