[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So who do you want to be the principal at Haycock and why do you think any administrator in his or her right mind would take on the job?

We didn't have kids at Haycock, but I have a good enough memory to remember when the parents were attacking Kelly Sheers for not persuading FCPS to build a larger addition at Haycock and instead supporting the move of some of the AAP students to Lemon Road.  It seems the parents there are never happy. [/quote]

I was at haycock during that time and this is not how I remember it at all. Kelly Sheers listened to the parents. Parents were not angry at the principal in this case--they were angry at Janie Strauss.[/quote]

Nope. When she said she supported the move of some kids to Lemon Road, the parents went after her with a vengeance for “throwing kids under the bus.”  Granted, most of those families are now at Lemon Road, but that’s how they behaved while they were at Haycock.[/quote]

OK, that rings a bell. Well, in any case, it seemed to me that she commanded the respect of the community. Maybe people disagreed with her at times and challenged some decisions. (It is definitely a challenging group of parents!) i can certainly understand why she may have wanted to leave. But I never heard even one person wish for her to be removed, nor did I ever hear any comments about mistrust and "low morale." If anything the general feeling as that she fought for our school. Also, the teacher population was relatively stable, which is important to every parent.[/quote]
