[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have never posted before on this site, but could not help myself here.  We have a daughter in the US, she started in the LS.  It is a fantastic school, and the families we have met are generally down to earth.  My daughter's teachers are very good, and some are exceptionally talented.  Obviously there are some people who feel as though they are on the outside, and no doubt there is some of that, possibly more sports-based than donor-based, but I do not know.  Those who feel they are outsiders seem overrepresented on this board, but it appears to be enough of an issue that the school should try and address it.  That said, the notion that the administration should be torn down does not resonate with me.  CRK has a very difficult job.  In today's society, you are damned if you do, and damned if you don't.  I would not want to run a school these days, and I would not want to run a business these days.  She is a good leader and a good face of the school, and it is highly unlikely you could find someone better.  My fear has always been that she would leave, and that the school would suffer as a result.    [/quote]

Totally agree on CRK. There are a lot of people who seem to blame her for everything, and I think they're nuts. She's got a really hard job trying to please multiple constituencies. She's got the devout - sorta - not Catholic continuum, the woke / not-woke, the donor / non-donor, and the sporty vs. nerdy continuums, plus dealing with faculty, which has been its own challenge through Covid. She's competent, works hard, and is a great speaker and public face for the school.[/quote]

Not saying that this applies at all in this situation because I have no idea, but... as a general rule... I would consider it a negative if I learned that an alum was the HOS.[/quote]
