[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes the superintendent is required to live in Alexandria. At one of the last board meetings Dr. Hutchings requested permission to live outside the city limits [b]when his home had repair work[/b]. I heard from others his family was receiving threats. [/quote]

He claimed he has been the target of "microagressions" on twitter.  The world revolves around him don't you know?[/quote]

Huh. So he should ignore the bully behavior and just let people like you walk all over him and his family?

Good for him for calling people out on their bad behavior.

You all are an embarrassment and exactly the reason why we send our kids to private school. We don't send our kids to private school to get away from the school system or the teachers, we send our kids to private school because of the people like you who send your kids to Alexandria City Public Schools.

We don't have a school system problem in Alexandria, we have a parent problem in Alexandria.[/quote]

Really! We don't have the cash to send our kiddos to private, so we suffer through abuse and aggression daily. No end in sight. So now, Dr. Hutchings wants to live outside the city in addition to sending his child to private school? Surely, as a TCW graduate he knew the snake pit he was going to manage? Every other superintendent candidate did and wouldn't touch the job.

Reading comprehension is important.  See the bolded.

Then read the next sentence.  "...his family was receiving threats."   Apparently that is acceptable to you.  It isn't to me so I guess we have vastly different value systems.  It saddens me that you are a neighbor in my beloved Alexandria.[/quote]

To the extent Hutchings really received threats, that is completely unacceptable.

But, a few bad apple parents does not mean we need to be sycophants to Hutchings and ignore the numerous problems with ACPS starting with its leadership.  
Overall, the problem with ACPS parents have been a failure to challenge the poor leadership and outcomes - the awful letter of PTAC praising ACPS/Hutchings for everything when ACPS virtual school was so poor is a prime example.[/quote]
