[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Weighing in for JR.  ... This year, the new principal while not amazing is solid and is trying to fix things.[/quote]

Based on my experience, I have to disagree. Super meh principal, who [b]cares a lot more about staying in the good graces of DCPS rather than developing bonds with students and teachers[/b]. I'm very unclear of the direction the school will be going in coming years. Fingers crossed that JR gets back on track. [/quote]

I'm confused by the bolded. Why are they mutually exclusive? Doesn't a principal's job description include doing the bidding of their bosses and  managing up? [/quote]

NP and I’m not too familiar with the JR principal but in general principals that toe the line with DCPS and follow every order and directive are not good at their jobs.  DCPS central office is just full of people creating new programs, data collection methods and meetings for teachers.  A good principal can keep downtown appeased but allow their teachers the space to teach.[/quote]
