[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]17:36, that would be best. But how do you know? Do you work for her? Who are you?

Yes I echo the sentiments about Burroughs fast rise and hope for the same at Bunker Hill. I believe the rock star principal at Bunker Hill referred to your dad was Amenda Alexander. Before my time. But then she was transferred to Ross and did great things there. IIRC.[/quote]

Amanda Alexander left a path of destruction everywhere she went. Worked for her and several principals at Bunker Hill before her and after her.  She was the absolute worst.   Bunker Hill started to lose its flare under another principal in 2004.  Charter schools killed the enrollment.  About 100 students left in one school year.  Carolyn Preston returned for one year, but could not stop the bleeding.  That ship had sailed.  That school has had principal after principal ever since.  Seasoned teachers left and "temporary" once passed through.  Amanda chased out the last of the great ones with lies and vindictiveness.  Once under Brookland's takeover and their principal, there was no turning back.

Bunker Hill is in a wonderful location.  So sad to see that it is still in turmoil with yet another principal.  Seems like that scenario is being played out all over the city.  Terrible principals chase out veterans and are left with "instant" teachers via Teach For America and similar programs.  Those teachers often do three years at most and roll out to their desired professions.  Teaching for many of them is only a guaranteed salary until the real job comes around.[/quote]
