Since you didn't allow comments on your post re TCG here we go:
First of all I am sorry for your loss.
Then let me tell you have disappointed I am to see you cannot let go of your grudges. You let your hatred get in the way of informing people that come here for whatever they come her (I find your writing amusing in your best days and ridiculous on your worst - I do a lot of eye rolling).
Your last comment about how she brings whatever you think she feels into the schools she visits is ill-intended. You are messing with someone's job and how they make a living. This is your hobby.

I would encourage you to check yourself and dig deep. There has to be a reason why you can't possibly let go.


I debated between staying anonymous and signing my name. Because you will never forgive me for calling you out I chose to use a moniker. But believe me when I say I am not TCG, and I really don't care who else attacks you or you attack. Do something more productive. Life is short.



PEACE

I didn't start this.

It would be a waste of energy hating her. I think she's more sad and pathetic than anything else and probably her own worst enemy. (Am I the one who caused the Superintendent to tell her to not directly contact the Super or the Board? Nope, she did that all by herself.)

I'm messing with someone's job? She came at me and has continued on. So where's the sympathy for my reputation, my brand and my work? Because I don't get paid, that all means nothing? Anyone would defend themselves.

I am being productive - my stats here have never been higher. I have been astonished but more and more posts are getting over 1,000 hits.

The people I know are those with integrity. Clearly, not your strong point if you can't sign your name. (Hint: if you have to write - "but believe me"- no one is going to believe you.)

I would encourage you to check yourself and dig deep. There has to be a reason why you keep coming to this blog.

Tuesday Open Thread

The speaker list is up for the Board meeting tomorrow; not as packed as I thought with just four people on the waitlist. The majority of the speakers are speaking on high school boundaries (with several wanting to talk about Ballard High). There are only three of us speaking about the Green Dot resolution asking the City to not grant the zoning departures that Green Dot has requested.  It's me, long-time watchdog, Chris Jackins, and the head of the Washington State Charter Schools Association, Patrick D'Amelio.  (I knew Mr. D'Amelio when he headed the Alliance for Education and Big Brothers and Big Sisters; he's a stand-up guy.)

Seattle Public Schools and Their Principals

 I know I may have said this before but I used to think that a school was only as good as the three-legged stool that it is - parents, teachers/staff and principal. I soon learned that without a good principal, you might not ever want to sit on that stool. I have also often wondered if Seattle Schools had just bad luck/poor judgment about principals or if other districts have the same kind of churn. And principals aren't the same category as teachers. They don't have a union per se but in SPS, they have their own org, PASS (Principals Association of Seattle Schools). They oversee hundreds of students, not a single class. They have to juggle multiple balls of budget, discipline, curriculum and governance of a staff. That plus make parents and students feel good about the school.  It was also an interesting fact for Seattle Schools that only until recently, they had three principals who had all graduated from the school that they now oversaw. That was Martin Floe at Ingraham High

COVID Issues Heating up for Seattle Public Schools

Updates: from The Seattle Times , it appears that Franklin High School was also closed yesterday due to COVID and staffing issues. As well, Also on Monday, Lake Washington High School in Kirkland shifted back to remote learning temporarily, according to a statement on the school’s website . The shift was due to COVID-related staffing shortages, other illnesses, and absences. On Monday and Tuesday, Lake Washington students will be learning independently from home (asynchronous learning) while staff plan to make the switch to live online learning with a teacher (synchronous learning). On Jan. 19, students will return to in-person learning. Last week, state schools superintendent Chris Reykdal warned that some local school districts may need to close temporarily over the next three to four weeks. While state-mandated preventive measures make schools among the safer public spaces, a lack of staff may force a district or individual school building to shut down, he said. And here's the
