Statements like this with no explanation or examples look much more like you're bitter for some strange reason and you're just trying to stir crap. Plus other current parents just weighed in that they disagree, so even more likely it's crap unless you explain why you said this.

Or unless you're the former Principal, in which case, why not just say "Hi everyone!"


Exactly. I’m the PP that said good things. Are there things about leckie that I would change? Sure. But we are having a good experience and it’s far from “shit”. We love our child’s teacher (and last years teacher too), we love City year, there are a ton of after school activities for students to participate in, the admin team is warm and friendly, the parent coordinator is wonderful, the specials teachers are really good and know what they are doing (especially music and PE), the before care staff is friendly, the outdoor classroom is amazing. So, yeah, not shit.

*and before I get called the current principal or a booster like I see people being called on here, I am not. We are a military family.

Huh. I agree this is weird to bump from a year ago. We are a military family at leckie. We have had good experiences. I think last year was a mess but how could it not be with the principal leaving after the year started? This year has been so much better. Principal Wilson has my vote for now. She gave her personal cell phone number out to parents. That’s a first for me.

Leckie does as well on the PARCC as Francis-Stevens, Powell, and lots of other schools with longer waitlists, it's convenient for my commute, and it outperforms my IB school. You get 12 schools in the lottery--might as well use them all.


Leckie does well given the demographics but not correct that the PARCC scores are the same as Francis.

PARCC 3 and above:

Math: Leckie 35%; Francis 68%
ELA: Leckie 52%; Francis 69%

I disagree. And it’s weird you dug this up from a year ago.

Actually it's none your folks business and all of you need to find a hobby or get a job!!! LOL But if you must know...her and others at the school were committing residency fraud. Maybe some of you to...hahaha. So she didn't go on voluntary leave. That you can stop right not. She quit before she got fired. Who does that if you're not guilty. She thinks she's all that and a bag of chips....NOT! At least not anymore...hehe. I hope she has money saved to pay for that nice big house that she doesn't have in DC.

Exactly!

Actually, if she went out on leave, there would have been no story.

This reminds me of the time the two principals were shot. Someone ran through the thread trying to spin tales about how they were in Barry Farms setting up for a student event--only to have DCPS state they were not there on official business. It was also pointed out that it made no sense for them to be out in the snow that was so bad it closed DC schools for days to set up for an event that didn't exist.

I don't understand people trying to lie and cover for these people. Especially when the arguments are so ridiculous.

You sound ridiculous.

1. Did you forget this was a NEWS story?

2. Did you not see the thread stating that Principal James has been replaced?

No hatefilled teacher can get the news to report an incorrect story.

I pay DC taxes too and I prefer to question why there isn't equitable learning across the board in DC. I prefer to question why if there were schools like Amidon and Tyler with open slots, why was a mult million dollar project like Van Ness allowed? I prefer to question that if it all takes is great leadership and teachers to get kids to learn, why is Brookland failing under the former Principal of Janney?

You just want to know because she is a "public figure", I haven't seen one real concern about whether or not her actions affected students there. That's how I know most of you are full of it.


You're a moron. That's exactly why ppl have a right to know. What is the integrity of this person in her capacity as one who works with kids. That's what I was saying & thought you'd have the intellect to pick up on. Of course you're yhe one making a stupid 'mind your business' argument about someone in charge of our public schools and kids.


I can only hope that a child logged on and found this thread, because I would hate that an adult stooped to petty name calling because they don't agree with someone online. How about this: I still know - and you still don't. See how childish that comes off?

Anyways, you can argue all day about what's your right- just like it's gun owners rights to bare arms and tote a gun at a parade, just because they have the right... though there is no real reason to. I still stand by my belief that you don't care an iota about Leckie, it's children, staff, or anyone involved. Keep sticking to your "I have a right to know" argument that you all are foaming at the mouth at though.
