[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Principals get a lot of latitude to run their school the way they personally see fit.

I don't know of any other school in FCPS where all the students change subjects based on their ability. I bet a ton of time is wasted transitioning each day. Every other FCPS has teachers differentiating in the classroom. It's public school-you get what you get.

It sounds like some Haycock parents have really unrealistic expectations. Not sure why. [/quote]

I'm really confused by this attitude that "it's a public school, you should expect it to be crappy."  We've already proven that public schools don't have to be crappy and they actually can provide a quality education.  It's been working, so why should we let this principal tear it down?

It doesn't cost anything, the teachers and parents support it, and[b] it has been working[/b].   [/quote]

The problem is, it's not best practice and it's not not what progressive schools do.  By getting a young principal who knows the latest in education theory, you're going to get the latest in education theory in your school.

As to whether it's been working, good schools are made by students (and parents).  Not by teachers or by specialization.

(And the opposite of "specialized teachers" is not crappy schools.  It's good schools that do not have specialization for their teachers.)  [/quote]
