[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every comment on the ACPS Facebook & parent pages is positive. Is that because they're censoring?[/quote]

Yes.

Obviously, ACPS is moderated by the district so that isn't completely unexpected. And given the terms of ACPS/Hutchings separation agreement that is making the rounds, maybe ACPS would argue that to leave the comments up is defaming him? It's not a good argument but in their mind it's a solid excuse. I think it's more likely that they just are continuing to squash dissent.

The parent pages are, for the most part, run by people (PTA types) who are wildly supportive of ACPS and won't allow any criticism. Even of Hutchings (although it is funny to watch parents who never said a word about Hutchings & loved to socialize with him get awfully brave on social media now that he's gone). It's the same people who for years have viciously attacked people if they criticized him or the district.

And if you go to Mayor Wilson’s Facebook page, you see the new argument is that the problem is not with ACPS and poor leadership but rather having too high expectations for what a superintendent can do and too many parent complaints.  [/quote]

If the expectation was that the superintendent should have focused on the job he was hired to do rather than building a brand, then yes, expectations were too high.[/quote]
