[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here
I think the solution is simply , hold the principal accountable for the decisions that are made about the education of your children. Nothing is ever all bad..or all good.. but a majority of the things that are posted here are true. So these are things to think about when moving forward with any school, as a parent, a potential teacher, or a community member.  I never mentioned race...or anyone being naive... the truth is the truth. The solutions come from the fearless leader. If you're having a good experience as a teacher or parent then do what works for you. Knowledge is power. As someone who was blessed with attending schools where the staff turn over was maybe one or two teachers every 5 years... I know the value of listening to the teachers and following the signs.

One of the PPs definitely made insinuations about race - mentions of meetings with Latino parents involving racist allegations, suggestions that new staff members hired by this principal would not be people of color, the suggestion that the principal is actively working to get rid of all the students and staff of color. That wasn't me, but someone who has already self-identified as a former staff member.

How do you hold a principal accountable for "the decisions that are made about the education of your children" when the things you're supposed to be holding them accountable for originate in this manner? Seriously. I will schedule a meeting with the principal RIGHT NOW to "hold her accountable" for these things if someone is willing to actually step up and tell me, not anonymously, with specifics, that those things are. If all people are interested in doing is bashing their former employer anonymously on a message board, that's not actionable and I'm not going to take it any more seriously than any other rumor that no one is willing to stand behind.[/quote]

If you don't know how to hold a principal accountable or anyone accountable..I cant help you. Furthermore, the people that need to know about the problem at Cooke..know. The community..the superintendent, the union, downtown..they all know. If you are confused about the benefits of anonymity when speaking to a forum where EVERYONE can see whats going on..again..I cant help you. Obviously all the former employees that have spoken up on this post have one thing in common..what you choose to do with that information is up to you. Im sure everyone who is reading would love to know who you are and if you're currently at 2525 17th st. Because those are the only people that get immediate meetings "RIGHT NOW" with the principal. Because she ignores emails from everyone else. Go forth..and prosper.  [/quote]
