[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd have had more confidence in an administrator coming from a school filled with high-achieving students. CHEC doesn't fit that bill. Hope she's ready to take good care of the in-bounds kids' needs, too. [/quote]

My perspective is the complete opposite.  I LOVE that Oyster’s new principal was able to win a teacher of the year award while working with such a difficult and diverse (racially, ethnically, socio-economically) student population.  That tells me that she knows exactly what she’s doing in the classroom.  Based on her experience as an instructional coach and AP, it also shows that she knows how to train and manage teachers.  You’re actually concerned that Oyster’s IB parents won’t get their needs met under this new principal?!?  Well, you need to save your concern for a far less powerful group of parents.  Oyster’s parents have shown time and time again that they know how to get their needs met.  Here are a few recent examples: (1) Successfully lobbying Michelle Rhee to get rid of a principal many of the IB parents did not like (Marta Guzman); (2) Getting the DME to change Oyster’s feeder from Cardozo back to Wilson in the updated boundary proposal; (3) Successfully pushing DCPS to hire a new bilingual and biliterate principal.  Ask yourself:  How many other DC dual immersion schools (DCPS or charter) have bilingual and biliterate principals?  Not many.  Oyster’s IB parents not getting their needs met?  Lol—thanks for my laugh for the day.     [/quote]
