[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How is it that the exiting teacher has taken up so much space on this thread?  My thought is that the school constantly needs a scapegoat, and that one way or another, they find one.  The parent culture at Murch is supportive and enduringly optimistic, but blindly loyal. God help you if you complain about anything or ask for there to be better standards.  Art in the trailor is a terrible solution to a terrible problem, and therein lies the rub with DCPS.  To be in that system is like being the pea in a shell game.

As for the real reason for this thread, the principal this year is a good enough sort, but the school overall appears chaotic and disordered.  It is hard to know who is minding the store, and from stories I have heard as well as what I have seen personally, Murch has become a school we should all be watching more closely. [/quote]

19.07 here (yes, I know, I have too much free time today) - again, as others, you make strong statements without support. the teacher a scapegoat. of what? of whom? parents were not involved with her choice to leave. something happened apparently between her and the principal and I feel that we do not have all the info on what happened to make the call (or chastise the principal as hyper paranoid). I find her note on the listserve a little unsettling though. you talk about the blindly loyal parents' culture at Much. but where? there are almost 1000 parents there and based at least on the parents of my DD's classmates, for most of us the quality of our kids's education is the paramount, and this is what at least I am loyal to. I liked a lot the previous principal, but when last year the counselor's position was in danger, my DH and I voiced our strong disappointment very loudly, and we were hardly the only ones.

your last phrase is the usual garden variety of vague and unsupported gloomy warnings "from stories I have heard" and "who is monding the store" and the school is chaotic and we should watch the school. you do not give any facts, how can we address the problems if we do not even know what they are. I do  not follow blindly other poeple's opinions, I want to form my own based on facts. if the school is chaotic tell me why. if we should watch the school, explaint why and what we shouls watch for. otherwise your post is just pointless bashing that serve really no purpose. you give us nothing to form our own opinion, and nothing to start from to act and address the problems  [/quote]
