[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Lab School woman has teaching experience. The only one who didn’t was the west coast woman. [/quote]

If you’re counting her summer teaching jobs at her alma mater (Exeter), then sure, she was a teacher in a 9-12 program. That’s not what GDS faculty would call actual teaching experience.[/quote]

There are great heads with less classroom experience. Some people are cut out to be lifelong teachers. Some people are cut out to be administrators.  But if that becomes an issue and makes it hard for the teachers to respect the new head, that’s when the quitting and the house cleaning starts. [/quote]

We are not talking about "less" classroom experience. It's practically zero. [/quote]

Yet she has already held at least one headship.  Chicago lab is not some silly little school. So apparently it’s not that important.  [/quote]

I know Chicago Lab is a great school, but it’s really odd she left before getting a new job. That’s a huge red flag to me.[/quote]
