[quote=Anonymous] :roll: [quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not a Peabody/Watkins family, but I am surprised.  I know she has gotten some pushback, but she seemed like a decent principal when I met her at an open house.[/quote]

Nope. Her level of disgust at current parents was off the chart. Best thing to happen to Watkins in years. [/quote]

Maybe, problem is, we have no idea who will replace her.

We've been in the LT Taylor district for 14 years and the school has had four different principals during our time in the neighborhood.  We'd cheer the departure of an awful principal at LT, only to find that another deeply flawed head was running the school.  At long last, LT has a good principle, after more than a decade of the school struggling under a succession of bad or mediocre heads.  Be careful what you wish for in DCPS.[/quote]

That is debatable. Good principal by whose standards? :hunf: [/quote]

Pretty much everyone at the school. I’m not the PP, but Principal is pretty universally respected by the parents; opinions seem to run the gamut from decent to loved, no one really dislikes him. He’s done a great job keeping the long term teachers who are the core of the school, as well as meeting the needs of the evolving student population while keeping the parent community harmonious. A super tricky balance for a gentrifying and legitimately diverse school, as Watkins’ experience shows.[/quote][/quote]
