That is like calling water wet, but such is life with hyper sensitive Janney parents who think their kids are perfect and should never be corrected.[/quote]

If that was the case here, please do tell if you know details. Otherwise the lack of details is going to cause people to draw their own conclusions, right 
or wrong. [/quote]

Go back and read the email that Janney sent and then tell me what additional details any parent (other than the parent of the child involved) would need?[/quote]

Specific information about how they:

1) monitor staff to ensure proper conduct 
2) create channels for complaints about staff from parents, other staff, and kids 
3) standards in place to screen and hire staff
4) standards in place to react to incident reports and complaints
5) evaluation of whether there are any structural factors that could lead to problems (ie ratio too high, lack of curriculum, lack of clear expectations for staff)[/quote]

Exactly. Just saying We fixed it isnt going to cut it at all. Especially when this wasn’t a concern in my mind before.  [/quote]

On the one hand these are fair questions and there no doubt are existing answers to all of them.

On the other hand random stuff happens and an adult with a completely clean background check and outstanding references can snap in a room full of people.  Which is to say no amount of caution can prevent every possible bad thing from happening.  So it is possible the school strictly followed/analyzed all of your suggestions and this still happened.[/quote]

NP here.  Of course it’s possible.  Or it’s possible that they had protocols in place but had gotten lax in their application.  Of course it’s possible that this was a complete out-of-the-blue incident which no one could foresee.  Or, maybe others saw troubling things in the past and didn’t know or follow protocol, or reported things that weren’t followed up on by higher ups.  I think it’s fair to assume no one is overreacting about their little special snowflake given the email, termination, investigation, possible referral to DCPS.  The bottom line is that any good administration of any good institution would be willing to reflect on their past practices that, even inadvertently, led to the current situation and make them better wherever possible.  And good administrators communicate clearly about that process to the community/parents.[/quote]
