It sucks when principals get harassed by the glass palace for being honest and professional.
Pat was all about the kids, and was big into data - but to profile her kids to see who needed more, who needed what, to make sure every child was reached, that every family was communicated with.

The improvements at Maple and surrounding schools are a big part of the story of the improvement at Mercer.
Love her or hate her, Pat Hunter was a pioneer at the cutting edge of educational improvement in southeast Seattle.
I congratulate her on her successful run at Maple and wish her well in her retirement.
Wow! For someone that does not have any students at Maple nor is teacher Maple you sure have a lot to say about Pat Hunter. Pat has been exceptional leader for our school and has been an outspoken proponent of public education. We are level five school in the district we have been awarded the Washington State achievement award several years now in a row. Pat Hunter will be sorely missed at maple.
Also reposting because of the kind and accurate words. Which stand in direct opposition to the vitriol we have come to expect from Mirmac on this blog e.g. "I'd place her among the drunk with power clique." Oh please.
Actually, we'd place her among the valued school leaders group. We need more like Pat who are (were) in our schools working their tails off and less sideline stonethrowers like Mirmac who seemingly never hesitate to tear down what they could be building up.

I read this blog but rarely comment these days because of the above.

Politics is bad because people (Who-Don't-Agree-With-ME!!!) and full of Vitri-oil! and Snark! and Politics is bad because (Who-Don't-Agree-With-ME!!!) won't have rational discussions, and Politics is bad because there ins't Unity! and Solidarity! (Who-Don't-Agree-With-ME!!!)
I at least the bottle cap deep acceptance of diversity is consistent - let's get rid of everyone who doesn't agree
