[quote=Anonymous]The new LS head does things that scare people like poorly worded email, with some grammar errors. I think that it would be unfair to blame her for all the ills of the LS. The past LS heads have spent too much time trying to make friends with the teachers who resist change and hard work. I am not sure what everyone is afraid of, if the teachers leave because they ate asked to do "too much" then I say good riddance. Annie was not effective at getting any changes implemented. Those teachers have figured out that if they smile and keep parents happy, they keep their jobs. This is problematic in many ways that are so obvious. I had one teacher who changed her evaluation of my child the minute I disagreed with her assessment. All of a sudden Johnny was a good reader when she wanted to say otherwise. I felt sorry for her but I wished that she felt that she could adhere to her opinion. One way to deal with this is to have more objective evaluations and assessments that show where the child is at that moment. I have also noticed a bit of behind the scenes formulation of explanations tailored to each parent, I don't get it. 
It all makes me feel like the place needs a dose of leadership and integrity. 
For now, we will stick around since we have invested so much, but I can see why people want out. [/quote]
