[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes! I agree with the above poster. It is upsetting to see beloved teachers leave but that happens at every single school. [b]Holton is a fantastic environment. The arts are top. The stem is amazing. [/b]The fact that these girls really are made to learn to write is a blessing. It is a privilege to attend the school.[/quote]

Who do you think is responsible for that?

The teachers and staff, many of whom have left, are planning to leave, or have low-morale.[/quote]

Where are you going? to GDS?[/quote]

Why should I leave? I'm not the one accused repeatedly of wrong-doing. There's no reason a school community should tolerate this kind of leadership.[/quote]

As a prospective family, what advice do you have for us? Going to another school? [/quote]

I would never recommend going elsewhere because my child has loved the school, but she's in upper school and much of what we have loved was put in place by the previous administration. The program is great, but there's a lot of loss. And Penny does not have the skill, temperament, or experience to make up for it. [/quote]

So, do you recommend that we not consider the lower school? I hope this mess will be cleaned up soon. Holton has such a great reputation. [/quote]

From my conversations with other parents and what I've heard from students, the teachers at all the levels are good. The issue is at the top. A change needs to be made before the current HOS undermines the strengths of the school.[/quote]

That might be true, but that change cannot be made based on the opinions of a stalker that posts regularly at dcum. Not being likeable is not a criterion for dismissing a hos. [/quote]
