[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a GDS middle school parent and this whole thread is super frustrating.  I don't understand why parents aren't bringing this to the attention of the board.  My good friends at an equivalent private school were instrumental in implementing admin change via board actions.  Even at the HOS level (not implying Russell should leave), just saying with enough voices that change occurs.  For those on the way out, just curious if you've raised your concerns in writing to board members or others.[/quote]

There is a pretty deep impression that those who reach out to the board are viewed as non-compliant parents, squeaky wheels and it disadvantages their kids. I actually dont believe this to be true but many are afraid. Those who tried to complain about school's slow return after vaccination policies were ignored or worse.

My kid is almost done here so I'm stepping up and writing letters to HOS and the board. I'm afraid many wont.

One more thing: GDS is a particularly tougher place for boys. There is much work societally to do for girls and women, but GDS, like many institutions is increasingly not meeting boys where they are.

Acc to my kid, an anonymous straw poll of one of the HS classes was recently taken by students and over 1/3rd of the boys said they would vote for Trump if they could vote. I'm not sure if this is higher or lower than a random sampling of DMV private school boys but it seems awfully high for GDS

That's not something to be ignored.  Of course it's not directly relevant to this thread either and I recognize that[/quote]
