What's annoying here is all this speculation (generally stated as affirmed fact by red-flag woman) about NCRC's policies, culture, Board composition, blah blah blah. Most of the presumptions are flat just wrong -- NCRC is a generally well-operating, smartly-run place.
This thread being used as a platform for smug declarations of "what they should have been doing" by people with zero knowledge of the school is just irritating.
If these dozens of red-flag/culture posts are PR paid for by JC to distract from the main topic (ie, him and his crimes (online-only, from what we know so far)), it's working.
Now you are entering the conspiracy world of red flag poster.
Touche! At least I used "if"!
I don't actually think it is paid PR, but I do think it is distracting and tangential to the actual substance of the real, discussion-worthy event.

This is what one would call a red flag.
This is creepy in retrospect, but not unusual, nor a red flag.
Plenty of teachers and staff at NCRC, and other private schools in the area, offer special outings and one-on-one activities as part of their annual fundraising efforts.

For examples of what I'd consider a red flag (again not an earlier poster but figured page 110 was time to wade in :p) having worked in law and social work:
- unmonitored (cctv etc.) time alone with students
- unusually close relationships w/ certain students (could suggest grooming)
- any kind of retaliation regarding complaints (investigation would uncover this, as would corresponding data of parents that complained and their outplacement success (obviously if they were PIA annoying that undercuts data but still would be interesting to know))
- staff retention (by gender as well, was he hiring say male teachers who left suddenly?)
- any proposed school initiatives where he'd be able to have more alone time with children
- any sexualizing or oddly adult (I.e. treating a child as if they were much older even if not explicit) remarks about certain students
- reasons why he left previous schools (there is a lot of case law about school liability re letters of recommendation if any sexual misconduct so most schools now give blanket remarks about employment dates but would be worth looking at previous employers)
- seeking out personal details unrelated to child's education in parental conversations (could be used in grooming, e.g., favorite toys)
Again a lot of this is generalized and there is a lot of information not known. I sincerely hope he was just digital but in most cases pedophilia increases over time in terms of actions so worth it to be thorough, careful, and assume the worst but hope for the best.

I'm not the "woman" people keep mentioning as I haven't posted before, but I think the concern is not a parent doing a direct quid pro quo or turning a blind eye to obvious misbehavior--rather that there could be a school culture with unearned deference/always assuming best intentions to the person in charge of outplacement (what's up with the auction ticket being a baseball game, most auction items with school staff are with beloved teachers and on school property like a pizza party or a craft afternoon) AND an unspoken expectation that any parent rocking the boat would be slightly punished re reviews etc.
It's not far fetched. Not to be histrionic but part of why Penn state happened for so long was not that countless people walked in on abuse but that it was a powerful head coach which people didn't want to upset and a culture where if you spoke out you didn't get playtime or any advancement opportunities (staff and players alike).

And it’s normally someone in your family’s inner circle, not a random, coach, teacher, etc. You just hear about the media cases but chances are it will be someone you have in your inner circle.Anonymous wrote:News Flash:

Ive been telling her this also, but still doesn’t get it and pushes back with no common sense. Nobody would risk their kid if they knew abuse was going on, just to get into a good school.

Correct first paragraph. Second paragraph is sheer naivety. Elites overlook criminal activity among their own all the time. Just look at our WH today.
You are simply stupid if you think individual parents would put their own children at this sort of risk. By being stupid, over and over, you just cause people to ignore you and think everything you say is stupid.

I have had 3 kids at NCRC and while most kids do get in their number 1 school, those kids that are more problematic do not end up at usual DC schools. This happened with 3 kids that were in class with my kids (that I know of).
My point is that there aren’t big differences among 4-5 year olds for the most part and the HoS listens to parents and teachers and makes the best recommendations.
Most kids at NCRC do not get into their #1 school!
Most kids do…. When my first two started at NCRC, the school much smaller and 90% of my kids’s classmates got into their first choice school… probably even more. In my eldest class, out of 20-22 kids only one did not get into their first choice and that was a kid that had behavioral issues and was violent. I am not as certain about my you get kids’ classes because they left for PK (after their second year at NCRC). My last child left NCRC 2 years ago.
