It is unfortunate the principal left but the school will do well without her. I spoke to her the day she submitted her resignation. We talked about her 12 hour work days and long commute. She never appeared to be comfortable in the position; I wish her well.


Steve Jobs was said to create a Reality Distortion Fields around him, Maybe Sela has a similar effect?

PP, your post might sound a bit more credible if you didn't insist on the "across the street" playground that has already been debunked. Assuming you mean Lamond Playground, which is a 7-10 minute walk for adults, 10-15 for kids. 3-4 city blocks away from Sela. The difference is quite significant because a 45-minute recess becomes a 15-minute one given the to and from.

But, we may be wrong. Can you please show us what playground is precisely "across the street" from Sela?


Yes, yes and yes!!! I was thinking that sounded plausible until the across the street thing again. Same poster from before most likely. If they clearly deny it, I'm sure Jeff can set it all straight one way or the other.

We wish you and your children peace and happiness, and best of luck with your ELL studies! You'll get there! The English language is HARD, but you can do it!

At least the two here on DCUM. But it's surprising that no one with a bit more sense steps up to stop the horrible impression they are making.


Half of the parents at my child school don't even know about this site and I'm sure parents at Sela don't either. But again who has the time and energy to be on this message board. Some people have better things to do unlike me

They are just largely not engaging with DCUM because of the bullying. They have a coordinated HSA and mailing list - and are going channel their energy into building a great school -and not bantering with bad actors.

Nope. The Sela HSA is following the lead of the Stokes PTA and calling for a boycott of responding to the DCUM bullies. We will wish you' and more importantly your children, good health. Peace!
