[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry to the younger families but i thank god every day that  this is our last year of Deal.  COVID has really brought to light the current weaknesses of the school.  The school flourished under Principals Kim and Albright because they put students first.  [b]Then it got way too big and Principal Neal made a specific policy choice to put teachers first.[/b]  It first showed up with small stuff like reduced after school offerings and cutting popular clubs like robotics.  Now its really come to a head with COVID and the refusal to offer any real in person instruction.  I sure hope the teachers are happy and feeling appreciated because the families and students sure don’t.

Students only see their teachers twice a week and we keep having increasing incidences of teachers not showing up for class.  Sometimes the family receives advanced notice and its an excused absence.  Other times there’s just no teacher.  And of course, no one is monitoring teacher attendance.  I still have no understanding why they need planning time on Wednesday’s since there are at least four 45 minute periods every day of “ascynchronous instruction” which is a free period for the teacher.

I’m still so angry that I’m somehow happy that my student now comes to school once a week for 2 periods of video instruction.  My expectations were so high for the school years ago when we started there.  Now they are so low that’s this measly offering is an improvement. [/quote]

I feel exactly the same way (for everything, but especially the bolded). We need new LSAT and ADCA reps because they defend Neal's refusal to reopen with IPL and everything she does to chip away at what made Deal a great school.[/quote]
