[quote=Anonymous]I do not get the communication thing AT ALL. Dr. B is 100x more wiling to listen to parents than Ms. M ever was, yet no one was gunning to the Post about Ms. M. She would literally put up a hand or walk away. Talk about defensive! She didn't have coffee talks or open hours, both of which Dr. does. Ms. Main did write more flowery posts in the newsletter, which must have endeared some of the haters.

It is wrong for teachers to say stuff to children and their parents. One of the loudest ones is exactly the kind of teacher who needed a fire under her butt. The teachers could do no wrong under Ms. M, and many of who could have been great were dialing it in. I also find it ironic that so many of these "beloved" teachers, including ones who left, had parents complaining about them. There was a long thread of discontent on DCUM a few years ago about two of the loudest.
I do like all of these teachers, but I'm disappointed in them for airing their dirty laundry.

So, let's not forget how many parents complained for years about these teachers to no avail. Hello, 5th grade! Heard it was terrible from the time we started pre-k, then Dr. B turned it around in her first year. I seriously have to scratch my head that so many 5th grade parents are loudly unhappy. Really? It is light years better under Dr. B's watch.

While I think silent lunch should be relaxed for the upper grades, I'm excessively grateful to Dr. B for listening to the parents who rallied, for at least 10 years, to improve 5th grade. For some reason, she rubs people the wrong way and they cannot give her any credit. Shame on the "concerned parents" for being so righteous to take it to the Post. I hope with some reflection they can find it in themselves to offer her an apology for the way they handled this.[/quote]
