[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Roland park is getting new head. Margaret Lofgren. 
Amanda at BMS is not leaving, fortunately, as she is wonderful. [/quote]

Another Bryn mawr parent and most people don’t agree with this.  Amanda
should have been gone long ago for many reasons.  The lower, upper and head of school are all strong though.[/quote]

Why do you think so?[/quote]

She is horrible on racial issues ( she is personally responsible for situation with middle school theatre teacher that led to tri school protests last year, but that is only one of many incidents she handled poorly) and bullying issues.  Personally know several families that left school over  situations where she failed to intervene, including a member of the board.  She favored her daughter and her classmates when they were in middle school.  She does not like spirited girls and is much harsher with them than girls she favors.  She is also very unpopular with middle school faculty.  Really find it shocking that someone who has spent any time at middle school would describe her as lovely.  My dd has attended since lower school and is now in upper, and I would unequivocally say she is a real weak link, and should be fired.[/quote]

If the school, which is hardly a bastion of conservatism, retain her despite all these allegations, odds are pretty good that it is mainly hysteria rather than anything grounded in reality. [/quote]

She is just a horrible administrator, the faculty are great but the middle school is pretty joyless compared to lower and upper due to Amanda’s style.  We stuck through it and are happier with the upper school.  God knows why she is still there, but the complains about here go beyond racial issues and are longstanding.[/quote]

Wow. NP here with a kid in the middle school and this has not been our experience at all. My child’s class is full of joy. [/quote]
