[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What being accepted into college is validation for DCPS teachers.  So, when the child flunks out of college within the first semester do we go back and retool the IMPACT scores.  Don't get it twisted DCMET is not a last resort and it's many first choice.  It is not sad they pink-slipped Ms. Minor, she was not the cat's meow.  She's a principal and accordingly there's other responsibilities that come with the job.  You are as only good as your weakest link and [b]the assistant principal was as weak as oodles of noodles[/b].[/quote]

WOW! So you were able to determine this by watching an entire year's worth of work that was edited down to 4 hours? Much less than 4 if you consider the amount of time that was focused on other things besides the admin.

Ms. Minor may not be the cat's meow (although I disagree with that based on what I saw), but she was DAMN GOOD for that school and those kids! An entire year shrunk down into 4 hours allowed me to see that much. If she did nothing else all year but what was shown in the video, she was damned good. And I don't think her staff would've gone on the mat for her the way they did if that was not the case. They were speaking to the Superintendent of Instruction--TO HIS FACE!!!! This was not water cooler venting. Those people know better than anybody the obviously inept and spiteful leaders from Central office they're dealing with. Still, they BOLDLY argued his move, knowing full well he knew their names, could get their names, or even offered their names.

And who's to say they'll flunk out in the first semester? Tiara and Raven Q both seem like mature, promising young ladies who can make the cut. Furthermore, MET has been around for over a decade. They do a great job of tracking their graduates and have someone on staff to do just that. They can boast of Ivy grads. I know this FOR FACT. MET DC is relatively knew (as this was the 1st graduating class), but the MET as a charter org has a great track record with their kids.[/quote]
