[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]13:39, I agree with all that you've written. Your point about YY continuing to employ parents became terrifically obvious with regards to the ED job. Instead of doing a search for a qualified candidate they made her position into 3 positions, all staffed by parents. It was divided between the principal (who is already stretched too thin) and two more parents that they hired on. It is beyond founder syndrome and it is simply not sustainable. Please YY Board of Trustees, begin to listen to what your base is saying.[/quote]

Yeah, I'll just bet people are lining up around the block to work long hours just to have the pleasure of people like you armchair quarterbacking every chance they get! [/quote]

That's just not a productive attitude and certainly no excuse. As parents isn't it our responsibility to watch our schools--especially new, unproven schools--like hawks? Should we just sit back and passively hope for the best?  No doubt parents are going to be very committed and that's a good thing. However, this needs to be balanced by administrators who can look at things from a purely professional point of view. Also, teachers are one thing, administrators are another. Teachers don't make decisions that affect the entire school. [/quote]
