[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a GDS middle school parent and this whole thread is super frustrating.  I don't understand why parents aren't bringing this to the attention of the board.  My good friends at an equivalent private school were instrumental in implementing admin change via board actions.  Even at the HOS level (not implying Russell should leave), just saying with enough voices that change occurs.  For those on the way out, just curious if you've raised your concerns in writing to board members or others.[/quote]

I am one of the previous posters and a HSl parent and we've been beyond frustrated but also on our way out. We have brought issues informally to members of the board that we know. Generally the answer is no answer: that the board doesn't have the ability to facilitate change or its slow change or the HOS isn't really aware or involved of day-to-day as he leaves it to the administrators. We considered formally raising issues but our senior did not want us to cause a fuss or put a spotlight on them because of fear of unfair treatment. When we brought issues up to teachers and advisors the answer was generally we are aware but I'm just the "xx" teacher, no one listens to me.

I have seen this too. I have spoken to a couple of board members and they say what you have heard.

I have spoken to administrators and they say certain things are "above their pay grade"

I have spoken to teachers and they feel entirely powerless.

So I come back to - either no one is actually running this place, or they actually just dont want to hear from us because they think everything is peachy.[/quote]
