[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's one thing, the dedicated teachers at Hardy that feel like the principal change is unnecessary appear to have little awareness of how poor the instruction provided by their "second variety" colleagues actually was. It is like they think that because they could run strong 90-minute lessons they assume their colleagues were doing so too. They weren't.

The parents should have never been the ones to fix problematic teaching. It is the principal, not the parents, that the teachers should be concerned about. But when the principal is doing nothing, there is no other choice but to involve others and advocate for the needed change. [/quote]

And, as has been repeatedly stated in this thread, problematic teaching was not even in the top 5 issues that led to the principal's ouster. We've had terrific teachers at Hardy. Their skill, empathy, mastery of their craft, and communication style have little in common with the incoherent raging upthread. My children's (excellent) teachers 
 deserve better leadership, and in signing the petition, I was supporting their right to a safe, well-run workplace.[/quote]

There are so many rational, calm teacher responses on this thread that it's sad parents keep going back to the incoherent raging well.
It's also offensive and patronizing to say that you signed that petition for us. You don't know better than us, and you didn't ask what we wanted.[/quote]
