[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bump this thread up. The frictions between the new principal and teachers/PTA are enhancing at Wyngate. While parents have kept on reporting the situation to her boss, his attitude was basically "training her is my job" to shovel the dirt under the carpet again and again. [b]Now teachers may carry a strike or mass leaving next semester[/b], and parents are devastated. Where to go next? Any experience or suggestions from this board? [/quote]

Every time there is a new Principal there is a mass exodus of established/legacy teachers.  This is not new or news.  Wyngate is a strong ES in a terrrific cluster with a great community[/quote]

It's not just a teacher thing. PTA got really intense relationship with this principal too.[/quote]

Maybe because almost every Bethesda school has parents who think they know better than trained educators. And that bratty behavior gets passed down to the kids. She probably said “I don’t take nonsense” and looked around. Good on her.[/quote]

Often the parents are better educated and more knowledgeable than the principal in a Bethesda school.   It sounds like she wasn't a good fit.[/quote]

Just because you’re a lawyer or doctor or whatever and you raised a kid, doesn’t mean you know more than someone who works in education on a day to day basis.[/quote]

No doubt that is true.  But a place like Wyngate has lots of demanding lawyer/doctor type parents and the right principal will be up to the task of communicating with them from day 1.  You know what they say about first impressions, they stick![/quote]
