[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Try again. My kids do not study Spanish and I was not involved in setting up the after-school lessons. My point is that one key difference between a good test prep program and a good school is a forum for parents and teachers to provide constructive input for the consumption of admins. BASIS DC was a better school (vs. a better AP prep program) under the previous open-minded head. You middle school parents don't get it.[/quote]

Who says your curriculum proposals or ideas for the use of school space constitute constructive input?[/quote]

That's part of what drives the animosity. It's universe of UMC parents who grew up being special and at every turn everyone wanted to hear what they had to say. They are experts in everything because of their degrees and big important jobs; ask them and they'll tell you this. The current HoS is very bad at making people feel heard. It is, I think, a legitimate area of development for him. He would be well served to learn how to make these people feel heard. He doesn't do that. He dismisses out of hand ideas he doesn't like and/or that are well beyond the resourcing to successfully implement. He doesn't tell the parents how smart and wonderful they before he does it and it hurts their fragile egos.  [/quote]
