[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in Hollin Hall, and I know the crew at Waynewood is just great with the kids.  Never an issue for my three girls.  I am thinking based at my experience at a Child's Place, Taxamount and now SACC it might be better to just let this go,  these people have a way of attacking the parents, the next thing she is going to do is call CPS on you the parents.  Be careful, she is obviously a sensitive woman, she doesn't like to be confronted, and she lashes out.  This may be the worst possible solution.  She has been in place for ever, and is the type that believes that the parents should never question her.
She is also not afraid to hurt a family by calling a parent a racist, with what is going on in this country people will listen, and no matter how many kudos this guy has from all his volunteer work one accusation from a woman of color will ruin him.  That is what she is seeking to do.  I suggest to just let it go, don't poke a rattle snake with a stick![/quote]

I do not agree with this poster 100%, but in someways I think this is probably correct.  I have kids in SACC, and I don't want there to be any issues.  I want things to be easy and smooth, it takes so much effort, and I don't want anyonecoming after me and my family.  I had a neighbor call CPS on us because my kids walked on their grass.  It is a totally intrusive and terrible experience.  I didn't sleep for months.  It not worth it.  Just be quiet and move on. You can count me out, I want no part no matter how wrong that woman is.[/quote]

Well I am in 100% disagreement with both of you.  If you don’t stand up for kids in an abusive situation, what do you stand for?  The threat of CPS as a threatening tactic should not stop a well organized group of parents. Strength in numbers.  Doing what’s right is never easy, but given her track record I couldn’t sleep at night letting it go on. [/quote]

I posted above. I see your point.  Do you have kids in this system now? If not I don't think you have business pushing parents into a possibly disasterous choice. Fighting takes up so much time and effort. I am not going to lie, this scares me.  Call me a coward, but you have a bunch of administration typed come in, it is bad for everyone.  No one wins, the kids suffer, some parents get slandered.  It is Northern Virginia. People here go out of there way NOT to HELP when its controversial. This area has a history of coldness and if you live here you should know that.  I am against any kind of intervention, it will only make things worse for the rest of the year.  The kid will always be remembered as being trouble, the teachers, the administrators, the principle, the SACC staff will put a scarlet letter around the kid and familys neck that will last for ever.

I lived there for years and only recently moved. I have a strong opinion as I love that school.  Nova is not a monolith.  There are people there with backbone. No one is forcing anyone to put themselves out there, but those that do nothing are part of this being a long term problem.  Change is messy.  It takes a toll.  I truly wish I had known all this last year so I could lead the charge.  But doing what’s right is clear.  [/quote]
