[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I imagine some of the teachers are just telling the parents what they want to hear to avoid the wrath of the angry parents. You all sound seriously insane. This is public school. FCPS lets principals run their schools how they choose. I agree with whoever upthread said you were lucky he had a meeting to hear you out.

I wonder if it's more difficult to hire at a school with so many strident parents vs. a school with normal parents.[/quote]

This is absolutely not the case. The parents are following the teachers' lead here. Like every single parent with whom I have spoken, I can see the pros and cons of departmentalization. There may be a few parents who care deeply about this particular issue but not many. What every parent cares about is teacher retention, stability, and a strong sense of community. It has become apparent that the teachers are very unhappy and the parents are legitimately upset about the idea that this will be the third year in a row that the teachers leave in extraordinarily high numbers.[/quote]
