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.
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.)

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.)
Why You Should Care Mr. Crabill has found quite the acolyte in Director Chandra Hampson. In the course of discussions over SOFG, she says his name over and over, "A.J .says we...." Now that's not too surprising given the direction the district is heading and that it is Mr. Crabill's work with the Council of Great City Schools is how we got here. But it appears that Mr. Crabill is working very closely with Hampson and we know she wields some amount of power over the majority of the Board. Mr. Crabill is going to continue to work with the Board as SOFG is instituted in SPS. In fact, his role may become more public as it did at one SPS Board meeting in the spring where he was on the phone during the meeting and suggested the Board stop the meeting to "self-reflect." I also noticed that in a district in South Carolina, when things weren't going to plan, he blamed the Board for not following SOFG to the letter. Look for that to happen here if Board members w
