[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not going to agree with the assertion that the principal is outstanding.

I do agree that the letter was definitely written by the central office (the language used was not how he speaks/writes). I am sure he was not allowed to freely communicate.[/quote]

I am the PP of the email complaint and I also like Mr. C a lot.  I agree that DCPS central office probably wrote the misleading email.

Suspending all field trips seems heavy-handed and unlikely to address the actual problem (i.e., that whoever is responsible for vetting the contractors isn't doing their job).

But a response that does nothing to address the problem and mostly hurts the kids is par for the course from DCPS [/quote]

I'd agree that suspending field trips on the Metro is excessive, but suspending field trips on contracted busses until the process for vetting contractors is reviewed and fixed seems like the the only option. If the process is broken, there's no way to fix that that isn't going to deprive kids of field trips for a while. "Hurting kids" in that way is unavoidable here.[/quote]

I agree that they need to stop using contracted busses until they have done a full review of how the vet contractors (and hopefully fire whoever was responsible for it).  I have no faith that they will actually do that review, though.  I think they will probably just suspend the field trips forever so they don't have to worry about it anymore, bc that's the easiest thing[/quote]

I agree this is what will happen and it's ridiculous because these kids just started having field trips again after school closures.

Schools in this city are a mess. [/quote]
