[quote=Anonymous]As a Cardozo educator, I’m sorry for the middle school principal and school principal not messaging you.

Their leadership has been abysmal this year.

At least 30% of our kids roam the halls.

Probably 10% are smoking/selling weed.

100% of the teachers don’t buy in to XQ not because we don’t think it will work. We don’t buy in because Dr. Blake doesn’t do ANY 
work!

All Mola does is tell us that we need to do better. No sir! YOU need to do your job!

Make rules and policies that hold kids accountable instead of starting a stupid and racially insensitive Ghetto Finance class, taking field trips to Chikfil-A and giving the same truant kids $50-$100 just for showing up late to school!

None of your methods are working!

Student voice?!

Where’s the parent voice? Teacher voice? Instructional Coaches voice? Librarian voice? Counselor voice? Social worker voice? Buildings operations and custodian voice? Cafeteria worker voice?

You spend all this time trying to tell us you need help! YOU can help everyone by holding the kids accountable! Instead, you charge everyone with being racist when we talk about cell phone policies, dress code, discipline and hallwalking. Here’s an idea! How about you actually hold kids accountable by making rules and policies that make the kids better citizens?! Oooh! Maybe that’s racist too! “We don’t want to use rules to discipline the Black and Brown students because that’s making it seem like they’re being policed in school AND outside too! How dare us!” (Sarcasm).

The fact of the matter is, you don’t want to do your job because that would mean you have to be the bad guy every once in awhile and you’re afraid that the basketball players won’t like you or the football players won’t give you a hi-five. Guess what?! Being a principal isn’t a job where being cool is the first priority!

It’s no wonder you’re going around to check out teachers to see what they’re doing instructionally - you haven’t done it all year! Now that Central Office and Kim Martin are demanding you show growth after FIVE years of no progress, you finally want to try and penalize teachers because you might actually get reprimanded.

You are a nice person, but you don’t hold any of the kids to a high standard. You make excuses for the reasons why they’re misbehaving, and worst of all you throw identity politics into the mix to cover up for your fear of taking action to avoid being disliked.

It’s time to be the principal Cardozo needs or pack up your office and move to Central. It’s filled with cowards who can’t do the work either.

PS. Take Dr. Fields with you too.[/quote]
