[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Apparently, there are outstanding accusations of inappropriate touching by a teacher that were / are being mishandled. He leads by fear and manipulation. The teachers are why we are at oyster. In Pineda's first year, 9 teachers, 1 instructional coach and 1 assistant principal left. After his second year, 8 teachers and 1 counselor left. At this rate, it will be a school with none of the teachers I have heard so much about. I’ve heard replacement teachers can’t speak up bc their status in this country is dependent on him. Awful situation. We are strongly considering leaving. I know at least 7 other families of younger elementary considering leaving too [/quote]. It is not uncommon for teachers to leave when there is a school leader change. The previous principal had been at OA for years and was beloved. Change is hard and many decide to leave and explore new options when there is a leadership change. Unless there were exit interviews conducted for each of those staff members and they specified they were leaving because of the principal, it's unfair to judge. Life happens, and sometimes people make the choice to leave. Sometimes high accountability causes teachers to leave. Also if I understand correctly, DCPS pays for staff visas so as long as international teachers work with DCPS, their visa is protected. It sounds like there is a lot of speculation and assumption but not necessarily factual data. I don't have a vote for or against his resignation but just hate how this website that should be a great place for families to connect, share, and learn from one another tends to become s a gossip blog. People have feelings, including this principal and this negative attention is damaging to the students, staff, and school community. [/quote]
