[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not the sped teacher I’m talking about. Agreed she had no choice with the one you’re talking about… You’ll see when you see who doesn’t come back next year. Teachers are not speaking up because they are weary of turnover and Miller isn’t awful, and gotta give her credit for staying the course in a tough role in a tough year. That doesn’t mean no one resents the way she was assigned and now made permanent. [/quote]

It's very difficult for a principal to remove an incumbent DCPS teacher from a position they aren't excising and the new principal hasn't even been at LT long enough to have put that process in place. So unless the teacher wasn't well loved by past admin either, wasn't on a normal contract (which would normally be a short-term thing then), was trying to switch positions or her position was being excised, then I don't understand how this is possible.

Resenting how she was assigned is baffling to me. The principal split with almost no notice and DCPS gave the school its second choice from the panel who still happened to be available. What method assignment would have been preferable from the teachers' perspective? There's no way it could have gone to the brand new AP (new to being an AP and new to the school) and there was no one else at the school who even meets the technical requirements to be principal, so what should DCPS possibly have done instead? Serious question. And did they really want yet another hiring committee, so the school remained in limbo longer? And it's not like the committee has a great track record.

I don't think PP is wrong to say that some people enjoy and benefit from stirring the pot and so they do.[/quote]

Yes you can, through the teacher’s evaluation. [/quote]

Try reading the first sentence again. Then read the thread where it turns out this PP was totally correct and the issue was that she denied someone a promotion. FWIW I 100% think she screwed up and should have supported the promotion; the person she hired is also awful, so terrible choices all around. But PP was correct that she didn’t fire someone.
