[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is nobody asking for a Non-Retaliation Policy? The #1 reason people do not report things is fear, uncertainty, and doubt, primarily due to retaliation.

Nearly all of the MCPS C-Suite have little experience being at the C-Suite. Reading the profiles of each of the C-Suite (which is too difficult to find) showcases that each is in a growth-type role for their career. Therefore, they are new to MCPS, new to their roles, and generally fearful of losing their opportunity. In such situations, people who lack experience are more likely to deceive, ignore, and retaliate. And let's be clear: "Bullying" and "retaliation" are two separate behaviors.

It is time for MCPS to hire 'experienced' candidates who have weathered the storm and can rebuild a broken organizational culture. [/quote]

I'd rather they stop focusing on this nonsense and put some effort into educating kids.[/quote]

I'd rather principals stop bullying and sexually harassing their staff and put some effort into educating kids.[/quote]

Except nobody has done this. Some guy made some unfortunate comments reported by a few anonymous sources. This is hardly a big issue. Let's move along and get back to education please.[/quote]

Teachers who are being abused in their workplace are not going to be able to focus on education. Time for accountability.
Time for this to stop.[/quote]

Examples like commenting on a person's appearance were unfortunate but hardly "abuse.".  This is being blown out of proportion.[/quote]

Just so you are aware most people don't want to work under a boss who tells them to shave their public hair.[/quote]

I didn't see that one in the WaPo. In fact, the worst thing I saw involved a teacher who was sexting him nude pics and accused him of harassment.[/quote]

I know, it was a tough article to read and I warned my friends that they might feel gross after reading it. So it's understandable that you either skipped those parts or blocked them out of your mind, but you really shouldn't be commenting on this issue if you are not willing to face the reality of Biedelman's behavior and how disturbing, scary and traumatizing it must have been to his subordinates.[/quote]
I didn't skip it, but it seemed light on facts.[/quote]

The article relied on mostly anonymous sources. I didn't find the evidence all that compelling.[/quote]

Except for all of the named sources you're conveniently forgetting.[/quote]

There were some in the Washington Post article, although nearly all of the most serious allegations came from anonymous sources.[/quote]
