It is as if the principals before were very relaxed and then she comes in and puts rules and practices in place. Observations are a given, it does not matter how many times a year. You can have one every day…. I don’t understand how teachers hate her and then expect a glowing reference from her when they try to leave. Nicknames to students is not unheard of and unless a child stated it made them uncomfortable, then it’s not a big deal. I was expecting her to call people crackers and the n word as a nickname. Transfer out teachers. There is a teacher shortage.

We have no other place to go. MCPS is not willing to help. The letter does not even address the issues and concerns with the special education department. This situation is way worse than I thought.

Keep advocating until changes happen.

Donna RJ came to this afternoon's ILT meeting.

Tell us more. What did she say?

Let me guess - politician responses avoiding the question at all cost answers while using as many buzz words as she possibly can?

Bingo. All involved clearly rehearsed their responses. No apology was ever made. “She’s only human,” they said.

Families are immigrants, the working poor, working multiple jobs, unfamiliar with their rights as MCPS families. After Beidleman I am so so mad on these teachers' and students' behalf.

Having worked in MCPS a long time, I have noticed that principals of color often get a pass from CO on bad behavior.
