[quote=Anonymous]I think what matters more than anything else is the school leadership (principal, counselors, APs). If they have set a good tone and are helpful to the teachers (instead of playing gotcha or seeing them as adversaries or seeing them as minions or being demanding) then it will be a good place to work. However, with the revolving door that DCPS seems to be, you don't always know what you're going to get. It also takes a special person to be a good principal in a difficult district like DCPS. I feel like in the "suburbs" the principal quality matters less because the general culture of the schools and districts are already reasonable. Bad leadership is still awful, but at least the structures of the district could help keep the school on track. DCPS has insane district level drama. Side note: I was one of the people who responded earlier. I worked at Dunbar. I knew going into it that Dunbar had issues, I just never imagined how bad they could be. [/quote]
