[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone who works in DCPS, I often find that there are so many inaccuracies in this forum. I’ve yet to discover if it’s the result of misinformation, bias, or something much more calculated.

There is no way a school leader would allow a drug deal to take place in their school and not do something about it. Especially if it were known. Senior leaders would not allow school leaders to remain at schools if this were a known problem. No school wakes up in the morning and says, I think I want to run a school in the ground. Bring the principal the receipts, (so that he/she is not accusing someone’s child of sellimg drugs based upon ancetodotes), and then allow the person to do something about it.

Parents should really visit schools, ask to shadow or volunteer so that they can see for themselves how safe our schools are.

I read inaccuracies about my school’s enrollment, class sizes, class offerings, etc all the time here. It's just blatantly wrong.

I also understand that parents create these narratives in part based upon their perception of the school’s leader and the demographics of the school.

The same for Mayor Bowser. So many people complain as if they can run a city as complex and diverse as this better than she can. Her perceived incompetence is rooted in one thing and one thing only.

If parents can run schools better than school leaders, you sure did an awful job with just a handful of kids, in a virtual setting.

Give leaders the feedback, offer your support, and give them the opportunity to fix it before you assume their appearance makes them incompetent.

The nonsense and gaslighting in this post are exactly what I’d expect from a DCPS employee.  “ Bring the principal the receipts” is an offensively ridiculous statement.   PP didn’t even bother to try to come up with a plausible way of passing the buck.  How exactly would that work for a parent in the real world?

Parents are concerned about drug use and drug dealing because their kids tell them they see it and don’t feel safe at school.

Saying “This couldn’t be happening” is exactly what every person in an organization that’s failing to protect kids it has a responsibility to protect has always said everywhere, until the truth comes out, then they say “How could we have known?”[/quote]
