She grew up in the age of bullies. No knowledge, just hubris! <br /><br />The principal came up in the EPD years. Lies and cheats about EVERYTHING! Hides behavioral data.

There are too many people teaching the minimum three years and moving into administration. I'm sure some of these people can grow to be effective leaders, but they lack an in-depth understanding of how a classroom works and what it is like to teach. Instead of recruiting talented and capable master teachers to go into administration we defer to whoever has an "ed. leadership" degree, regardless of whether they were effective teachers or not. Perhaps if master teachers were identified and given training opportunities we could create a new cadre of teacher leaders instead of the "business model" school leaders we have in many schools today.

They do not beat up on their teachers. That said, they let the kids get away from them to where they were running the school and the teachers were all scared. there wasn't any discipline or backing teachers up. But they did not fuck with us or bully us or stab us in the back. Really nice people in so far as Principals can be nice. But completely ineffective when it comes to discipline of students.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1107550755163115303.post-46641092441461394362013-02-06T19:22:42.961-07:002013-02-06T19:22:42.961-07:00What happened at Southside Middle School will cont...What happened at Southside Middle School will continue to be an anomaly as long as Joey Wise's legacy principals are allowed to continue to run rampant. It is apparent that these folks had incriminating photos of Ed Pratt-Dannals and apparently have the same sway with the new superintendent. Duval County will continue to be a joke in Northeast Florida as long as it continues to allow a few bad apples to bully their peers AND their teachers. This is pathetic. Instead of focusing on making our schools safer, these same administrators are more interested in making sure that bulletin boards are perfect and then we are so shocked that the exodus of students to private and charter schools continues. This is pathetic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
