[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you. It sounds like we see things pretty comparably.

I was a vocal and public proponent of removing Principal Johnson. If you were in the LSAT call today — and I can tell by your words here that you were — that is just one place where the total disfunction was apparent.

Left unsaid here and publicly are the several documented instances of dishonestly that Principal Johnson from which could never recover. A leading one, for me, was when he said during the January PTO meeting that he was unaware the girls locker room had been locked for two weeks (preventing the students from participating at all in PE). That was a bald-faced lie. He had already been receiving emails about it, and DCPS had the records.

That was the moment I turned on him. He lied, and he knowingly lied. It made me question most of what he said over the next few months, and it made me collect records from others. That locker room lie, it was not isolated. And as bad as lying to your parents is, lying to your boss is worse. Make no mistake about it, he lied to his boss, and his boss knew. The petition did nothing except force DCPS to don what they had already decided needed to be done. [/quote]

And that's an insane reason to think a principal needs to be removed with 5 weeks left to go. 
Listen to yourself: a locked bathroom. 
From which he could NEVER RECOVER?

That is just one easily documented lie. There were many.

But, again, if you're failing to see the broader point about honesty, or the specific point about lying to one's boss, maybe that's a deliberate decision on your part. I respect your points above (assuming you're the same person who wrote the teacher perspective above), but lying to one's boss is utterly, entirely untenable. That is absolutely a fireable offense.
