[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Got it, if we consider the HoS a poor leader, after getting to know him over a four-year period, we're unkindly bashing him.  The weakness of your argument is that the shoe fits.

The DC LEA arrangement and real estate values aren't at the root of BASIS DC's relative shortcomings.

Hint #1: the building wasn't renovated intelligently.  According to my HVAC guy, a basketball court could easily have been created on the roof but BASIS rejected the idea; he was on the crew that redid the building.

Hint #2: previous HoS was a strong leader. The school was happier and more functional during her tenure. I know this because my kids are quite spread out in age.

BASIS shoehorned the students into as small a building with as little reno as necessary. No one disputes that. How can you argue with a straight face that isn't rooted in real estate limitations?

You are entitled to your own opinions but not your own facts (apologies to Daniel Patrick Moynihan). The roof as constructed cannot support a bball court or weight bearing functions. That is not to say that it could not have been reinforced, but it was not (costs $$$$). Perhaps your HVAC guy should stick to HVAC and leave the structural engineering to engineers. Retention under the current HoS is far and away better than under the HoS to which you make reference. You may have been happier and she may have been great, but the retention data does not support your conclusion.

Your post, like many others on DCUM, has completely lost the plot.
