[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who says I am at work? And what makes you the keeper of the knowledge about Nardi , or the DCUM thread police? It was a sincere concern and question.
I bumped an old thread because that particular issue bothered me more than others.[/quote]

NP - I don't get it, you pulled an old thread you "don't like the issue for" and then ask about a MS principal? 
BTW, do you even go to Pyle, if so then you'd probably know the situation already and Nardi's unpopularity. Putting a bunch of 12 yo in a overly huge middle school and failing to create a sense of community or even structure where a kid doesn't have 30+ new faces in class every hour while never doing ability tracking classes is not effective.

I am going to pull into this topic - the thread is so old I feel justified. I have kids at Pyle and would not say that Nardi is universally disliked, as is your implication. I am neutral on him, my kids like him, and most parents I know like him. The lack of ability tracking is universal to all middle schools in MoCo, and it isn’t his fault the school is so overcrowded (and the school is about to embark on an addition). Curious what you find lacking in structure? I do agree there is a lack of community cohesiveness but I chalk that up to the size of the school. [/quote]

I think the main issues with him don’t relate to how “nice” he is—he’s personable—but rather his lack of vision or follow through. He defaults to inaction when he’s worried about going in the wrong direction. Many many parents have lowered their expectations. Pyle has lost out on some really good opportunities because he didn’t recognize them as such. And the kids are able to get away with a lot
of mean behavior. I know several teachers who are frustrated too.[/quote]
