[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This indeed has gotten unnecessarily ugly!

I take no glee in MV’s troubles. I do think that what you’re picking up among some current and former MV parents is years of frustration and exasperation with the executive leadership of the school. Our kids went to MV. We were a founding family. We put our time, hearts and resources into that school. We felt we were part of something special and that we all had a role to play in making it a success. I look back fondly on those first few years of MV. I’m not alone. It was a great community seeking to become larger and even better community.

In time, many parents came to feel duped, misled by executive leaders who covered up mistakes, distorted academic issues, misled parents, and ran off some amazing teachers.

It’s hard not to be emotional when it comes to your kids. The passion you’re hearing from parents isn’t glee; it’s catharsis. I believe every current and former MV parent wants the school to succeed, but we know it won’t without change. We hope (but remain skeptical) that this moment will bring about that change.

Not all that interested in listening to those who are here to judge other parents. We’re all trying to do what’s best for our kids. I appreciate those who have come here with empathy and a willingness to hear others out. Glad as well that some current MV parents have spoken up for the school. I may disagree but I think it points to something worth saving.  [/quote]
