[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a former SACC student  at Fort Hunt, went to Carl Sandburg, the Mount Vernon High. I know the woman they are talking about. She is harsh, confrontational, and as a child I was in fear of her. She made me wait to go to the bathroom, I peed my self and was embarrassed in front of my friends. She humiliated the kids. I remember her pulling me by my arm, and pushing me down on the carpet before a snack. I heard her say nasty things about parents, and when my father complained she said he called her the “N” word. So it was buried. Both of my parents relied on SACC as an affordable option to daycare. Both my parents worked blue collar jobs, no DoD affiliation. So them being able to have day care at the school I was in was paramount. After I told my mom and dad about the peeing incident, and “MM” making up false accusations about my dad, he pulled me out. It tore him up when she lied about him. My mom and dad had to cut their hours at work because of it. My grand parents were both in the Orlando area. This was a while ago, but I see that terrible woman is still at it, and using her “race” card when her back is against the wall. The parents should band together, but in this area, good luck on that.?[/quote]

I am so very sorry. This is abusive.  Someone needs to show all this to P. Fitz and demand action.  I would also show it to the PTA President and contact FFX School Board and Mt. Vernon District Supervisor Dan Storck, he knows the school very well.  Enough is enough.  [/quote]

To the poster before me, this is my first time on this board.  I also work in the area but our precious ones are out on the other side of Springfield.  I went on here because we are thinking of moving into the Fort Hunt/Hollin Hall area just because we are tired of commuting.  I don't know, this SACC issue does sound like gambling.  How can you as parents let it go on?  Are you really afraid of this woman?[/quote]

PP here, and I no longer live in the area.  I am in the Midwest now, but would certainly act if I were there.  I didn't have direct problems with her in my interactions, but things like my kid peeing her pants were just unacceptable.  Based on what others have said, she is clearly a major problem.  If still there, I would confront any accountable leader - It's just in my nature, but I realize not everyone is like that.  And I'm sure it's hard being called a racist in retaliation for addressing issues, especially when so many parents choose Ft. Hunt for it's diversity.  That being said, I certainly hope a few parents band together.  I know the area is known for people keeping their heads down (ironically, as many are drawn there as public servants), but think of the next Kindergartner who starts there and is frightened.   It's really absurd that she wields so much power.  Isn't the principal's daughter in SACC?  [/quote]

Hi PP, just joining the conversation.  I am a Navy employee, came from the Midwest.  I like to tackle issue as they come up.  We heard about the diversity of Fort Hunt, and opted for the lottery and the Spanish program, also my kid liked the summer SACC.  Now, I haven't seen this woman that is in charge of the Fort Hunt do anything wrong, in fact she seems absent to me. Another parent called her aloof. I think that is right.  When I come in to pick up my kid, the woman in charge just sits are her desk, doesn't say a word, nor does she even say hello or goodbye.  When I go in and see there are no kids in the SACC rooms I ask her, sometimes she answers sometimes I have to ask her a few times.  She will give a one word answer.  Ok fine, she is not personable.  
I know the guy that she accused of calling her a "Stupid African."  He is also Navy and his child is from a mixed ethnicity.  The guy is on the diversity council in his Navy job, volunteers for girl scouts, and his local church.  I don't know him well, but we talk when we see each other, and this woman's accusations really made him upset, I mean really affected him.  Both he and his wife will be stuck in a terrible spot if they have to pull their kid out due to this woman.  
The point is just because this woman has X many years doesn't make her the Yoda and supreme commander of all SACC.  Never should a SACC employee slander a parent.  If there was really something said and in this guys case I don't believe it, why did she wait so long to say something? It seems like she didn't like being confronted, and wanted to slap the guy back down and put him in his place like how dare he.  
I have seen this in the Navy, and now at SACC.  We had an issue with this at a daycare on base, and the person was fired.  They took the parents word their was a problem.  We are the customers, and pay a lot for SACC, I think that SACC forgets this.[/quote]
