[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The principal of my school is pretty damn awesome.  Maybe not from the perspective of a teacher that isn't performing well...[/quote]

Typical DC response: It must be the teacher's fault. Nooooo way could a leader just suck, huh?

Believe it or not, even well-performing teachers who are adored by admin can see how terrible the leader is in many cases.

By the way, which school are you at? Shout out your awesome leader! I'm sure he or she won't mind. And I'm certain it's not ALL leaders. But the type of mean-spirited, bullying, incompetence I've seen in the leadership in DC has not been seen anywhere else. So I can't help but wonder what makes DC a place for these terrible people to thrive when we all know they wouldn't survive anywhere else.

So, which schools have awesome leaders? I'd love to know they exist because what I've seen and heard of is scary.

You're right, they were all white. Some of our very highly regarded DCPS principals of color could include Atasha James at Leckie, Andria Caruthers at West, Abdullah Zaki at Kelly Miller (the 2014 principal of the year), Maria Tukeva at CHEC. DCPS principals and teachers are of an excellent quality. I'm sorry if you feel otherwise. All of them are doing a great job given the very difficult realities of their day-to-day work life.

Whoa.  Maria Tukeva.  Wow.  Just wow.  Have you seen the turnover number for CHEC?[/quote]

I agree with crazy OP on this point. The turnover at CHEC is astonishing. It may all be because of the vice principal, but the continued existence of such a damaging person falls on Tukeva eventually. [/quote]
