[quote=Anonymous]First of all the bios are accurate so not sure what that person complaining about mis-information was talking about.

Getting into this quote - 
[quote]It’s a b*stardized version of Harkness, but it requires a really thoughtful and experienced teacher to execute it well. [b]Recent grad of a party school ain’t it. Shocked that Potomac would hire someone like that. Makes it seem like they are looking after their finances more than their students.[/b][/quote]

The elephant in the room, that no one is talking about is that there are no more education majors and no more people going into teaching thanks to terrible pay and the absolutely toxic culture surrounding schools and parents these days.  Recent grad of party school was in fact the absolute best that applied that cycle. No one with a math degree is thinking "I should become a high school teacher," even at a school like Potomac and especially with the cost of living in the area.  You think "recent grad of party school" is bad?  Just wait. At least they are a grad of a school.  This is an across the board problem and in 10 years you all are going to be begging for a Math department with anything approaching the background of current faculty.
