[quote=Anonymous]If you think the solution is approaching the division heads, you should read some of the other threads here about Norwood and experiences with the division heads. Not all share that favorable view. Some of us have had extremely negative experiences with at least one of them.

In terms of teachers, there is nowhere to note, for example, that teachers themselves are misspelling words on the spelling lists or missing marking things wrong on tests. I should not have to regrade each of DC's tests to see how he really did. There are also teachers who answer e-mails requesting a meeting with "Johnny's doing great! Why do we need a meeting?" This is after several e-mails and notes that went unanswered. And ERB results? Forget it. Teachers say talk to admin and admin says talk to teachers. It's an endless (and pointless) loop.

I don't agree that retention of bad division heads is a Head issue. My understanding is that the board decided to retain the division heads after this year despite the concerns. That is on the board. My understanding is also that the board convinced the head to retire now and that it was not his decision.[/quote]
