[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No yelling in anger is acceptable ever at school. Shouldn't happen. It's completely unprofessional. No way. If the principal isn't handling it take it the next level of administration.  [/quote]

We left DCPS bc of the yelling/ tone of voice, among other things. My child was stunned by how no one yells at his new school.[/quote]
Who do you parents think you are??? What are you going to do- email Kaya Henderson about the fact that your kid reports that a teacher is yelling??? Maybe- just maybe your kid is making shit up. Maybe, he/she got in trouble and knows that you helicopter parents will immediately go on the attack. Holy crap. [/quote]

You clearly haven't spent a lot of time in too many DCPS schools. It's a huge problem. [/quote]

Weird.  We're at a Title I school and have not witnessed any yelling.  And I have been there in the morning, middle of the day, and during pick up.  [/quote]

Well, you're lucky. Also, many of the perpetrators of the yelling may be aging out. It's sort of a generational thing. After the first round of Michelle Rhee school closings a few years back, several excised teachers who could not find jobs in the system were "gifted" to various schools. Our very new and naive principal took one not understanding the implications of accepting the gift (i.e. the yeller was now on the school's payroll). This teacher screamed so much that when she was assigned to be a regular first grade teacher the following year, the parents led an active revolt and said that they would pull their kids before they let her teach them. Fortunately, the principal only lasted a year and the new principal shunted the yeller off to some "support" position and then axed her in the budget layoff. [/quote]
Cool story. You got a teacher fired because your kids said she was mean. Please tell me about the other revolts you have lead.[/quote]

Well, there was that one time in Cuba...[/quote]
