[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She is getting yelled at personally and in a group. The teachers like to be controlling for no apparent reason. For example, I was there one day when the kids were lining up for recess (not her class) and the teacher said to get their coats. One boy said he didn't want his so she yelled to get his coat. He had on an undershirt and a long-sleeved shirt so he didn't get it. She yelled again and he said he'd be find without it (and granted it was about 50 degrees, not 20) and she screamed, "I am not ASKING you, i am TELLING to GO GET YOUR COAT NOW!!!!" Totally uncalled for , imo. Why not have him suffer the natural consequences of being cold if he chose not to get it. The point is, I find that the teachers there just want the children to jump and not have a mind of their own. I know that at times children can't be left to make their own decisions but that situation seemed over the top.

She gets yelled at for any number of things like this I suspect. [/quote]

There is just no excuse for this.  All the Capitol Hill parents know about yelling in DCPS, but have come to accept it as the price of living on the Hill and going to public school.  One might think Janney could be held to higher expectations, but honestly in my conversations with Janney parents I'm not at all surprised.  There's really no acceptable reason for an unskilled (obviously!) young teacher to be collecting a (relatively) high salary for screaming at 6 year-olds.  Sorry, there's just not.  In a nutshell, we're talking about one of the best DCPS schools and this is nothing but pathetic.[/quote]
