[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The teachers are awesome and they care, the most important factor in a school's quality.  The school has gotten smaller and will be smaller again next year.  If you live in the community, then you know why it's so popular.  My DC is thriving.

[quote=Anonymous]Why the hell would anyone jump through hoops to attend Haycock? The school is busting at the seams and they herd those kids around like cattle. Ive never been so happy to move in my life. [/quote][/quote]

I'm not so sure I would go so far as to say they care. I don't have a child there, but I watched one of the teachers testify at the school board meeting last year supporting the redistricting. She seemed to be acting like it was hard to do..but if she cared about those kids in her class at all, she would have fought for them, not against them. A teacher had no place taking sides in a situation like that. [/quote]

If school personnel believe that it's in the best interests of students to be assigned to schools that aren't seriously overcrowded (or, to use the prior poster's phrase, "bursting at the seams"), they have the right to express their opinion in a public forum.  Your suggestion that she was "taking sides" against students presumably was not how she viewed her comments at all.

I expect that one reason why the Haycock teachers recently expressed such satisfaction with working at the school is that they perceive their voices matter and are heard.  If the message to teachers was just "put up and shut up," they would be an unhappier bunch, and then you or some other poster would be making a big deal out of that instead.
