[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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 the assistant principal was as weak as oodles of noodles.[/quote]

Thanks, Kaya.[/quote]

Exactly! I was thinking the same thing.

"Ms. Minor's not the cat meow" sounds just like the type of catty jealousy that would make a 500 pound manly girl decide to fire an obviously hardworking, well-loved school leader.

What was it? The fact that she was featured in a documentary, and although Rhee was followed by cameras no one seems interested in you, Kaya?[/quote]

This made me LOL - but I don't envy Kaya's position either.  There are a lot of failing teachers and administrators that should go, unfortunately she did a crappy job of finding staff that would accurately figure out who.  I bet she didn't even really know who Minor was or what she did, if it weren't for this movie she probably wouldn't have been able to identify which DC school she worked for.

She's got a tough job...but she's doing a bad job at it too[/quote]
