[quote=Anonymous]Second poster is back after a long day of work -- wow, this thread has gone wild with the speculation. Growing pains referred to changes in the new resident population coming to the school - high SES, all races/ethnicities had various issues but recess was not one that was prominent this year. For instance, they ranged from discipline approaches to perceived inequity between the English and a Dual language sides of the school. There were also issues raised by Hispanic, mainly immigrant families, who said they mistrusted the administration. There was also a spate of bullying that the school took steps to address, and some children were suspended (and consequently some families felt that that was not enough or too much). And there were some parents who took their concerns directly to the central office, flying over the principal and the pta. Have been at this school for a few years and can tell you it's a great school well beyond k. Things got out of hand, and I think it's unfortunate for all. many of us appreciate the teachers and caring school staff. The last principal was overwhelmed. The new pick is coming from Marie reed, where she was the AP. Try not to read between the lines. I am trying to be clear, not obtuse. Bottom line: it's a good school, but had some growing pains. Even old schools can have those, if the admin and parent population is changing. No one is pretending this is a charge. We are proud to be a dpcs school. Some of us don't do charters.[/quote]
