[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love the CCES principal.

(and will now duck all the rotten tomatoes coming my way)[/quote]

I’m genuinely curious what you like about her. I have found her to say all the right things with very little follow-up, so the things she commits to don’t actually happen. [/quote]

I like that she is super teacher-focused. I’ve been around elementary schools my whole life and in my experience, the principals who really care about and stand up for their teachers make for a much better school experience for our kids than the principals that focus on pleasing parents. CCES has amazing, amazing teachers and great retention. She’s not the greatest parent-facing principal I’ve ever seen (obviously - see PP about being the most hated principal in MoCo), but who cares? I don’t need special snowflake treatment or attention paid to me. I need the focus to be on the kids and their experience. [/quote]

I don't think it's about pleasing teachers vs. pleasing parents. It is not a zero-sum game. A good principal will be able to support teachers while also having respectful interactions with parents.

But I am happy to hear that she is supporting teachers! I agree that the teachers at CCES are top-notch and the best part about the school.[/quote]
