[quote=Anonymous]I am yet another former employee at CMI and I too would steer well clear of this school. Despite numerous complaints to the CMI board by teachers and complaints to the PCS board, the 3 aforementioned people who run the  school still remain employed although it is more than obvious that their complete lack of leadership skills have contributed to the school's downfall. The working environment is one of disrespect, hostility and fear, which of course impacts the quality of the teaching and the experience of the students. While I was there I witnessed teacher’s bullying one another, weed smoking on school property, sexual harassment of some staff members and inappropriate relations between staff. I know for a fact that all these things were brought to the attention of the 3 at the top. Some were addressed, some were not. Most of them were ignored or covered up. I know every school has its growing pains but the fact that after 10 years this school continues to get worse instead of better should raise come serious questions. I would caution any parent considering placing their child at CMI. Ask questions and don’t settle for glossy, manufactured answers. Ask about the high turnover in both school directors and teachers. Ask about the status of the non-existent international curriculum (a huge draw for families). Ask about the status of Conscious Discipline. Ask about the increasingly poor test scores. Ask about the rates of bullying in the upper grades and ask about teacher satisfaction. It’s beyond time that something is done about the 3 at the top so that the school can be put on a new and fresh trajectory. The students, staff and families deserve it. [/quote]
