‘Take care of our brown and black babies’?! Gotta love identity politics, it’s a Narcissists’ paradise. Poor kids.

It’s not the poor kids fault or the inability of schools to teach. It’s the abject disfunction of the parents that lead to poor educational outcomes of their children. But no one has the courage to speak the truth. As for the Superintendent, I am ill equipped to pass judgement. But I will augment my premise that until low functioning parents take some remedial schoolin’, then test scores will never rise and drop out rates will remain high. After all, their parents likely dropped out so what can you expect from these po babies. As one principal once remarked, Please read to your kids at least one hour every night.”

You mean they don’t?

As a parent of a Parkville student I am very disturbed by what has been happening at this school this year. The problem is there are a group of “PTO” parents who are bullies and are working with the principal to bully teachers and other parents. They are pressuring parents to sign petitions to keep the current principal. These same Parents spoke at the board of Ed meeting and embarrassed themselves with their behavior. And then the following day as I was stripping my children off there sitting in the front of the building is the principal and the pto lady who made rude hateful comments at the board of Ed meeting the night before. And the two are laughing and talking. So clearly the principal had no morals and thinks those parents behavior was acceptable. What is sad is this small group of bully parents don’t speak for all parkville parents. Also talking to the board of Ed about Parkville is useless. They think the current principal is wonderful. Rumor is the current principal and the superintendent are good friends. Although I was Not always thrilled with the past principal at least he didn’t let pto parents bully the rest of the parents. The teachers seemed happier. Staff was consistent. And as a parent to 2 Hispanic children do NOT refer to my child by color. Please refer to them by their name. Something needs to be done about Parkville and the current principal and the bully PTO parents.

I declined a job in Hartford after I learned about how teachers are treated by their administration....so glad I did and the word is stay away.

I must say this problem did not start with the current administration. Dirk Olmstead & Marcie Morocco never cared about the kids but their next career growth opportunity. Teachers were hired from the suburbs, stayed long enough for student loan relief or financial assistance for their 6th year, and then left.
Parkville finally has an administrator that holds the staff accountable and that makes them uncomfortable. Yes, parental involvement is needed, but staff that really believes in the students is essential.
The new principal never had a chance. Regardless of her take care of the black and brown babies comment, the teachers had already pledge to be uncooperative. Bethany is on leave for being insubordinate and leading the teachers in this revolt. Teachers have focused on overthrowing the Puerto Rican principal than educating their students.....

I'm pretty sure there was notification of the vote of no confidence at the last BOE meeting. How would I know about it otherwise? I think Fergus is fibbing.

So none of it is true? All of the teachers are blindly following?

I can not believe that someone would accuse someone of teaching just to pay back loans and get a 6 th year. Honey, my loans have been paid back for years. I chose where to teach. I love teaching in an urban population. I’m sorry I go back to my “ suburb” each night. Another choice I made in life and also love! People have choices in life. You sound very bitter. It sounds like this Bethany person knows what is best for the kids, staff and parents at your school. Maybe you need to take a look at what choices you have made. You don’t seem very happy.

Hartford public schools are failing. Everyone wants to point fingers. The amount of unethical decisions made by their leadership seems to have snowballed and has trickled down. I am not sure why this happens to people in power. The superintendent is a liar and manipulator. She seems to have her "minions" that she has chosen. Sadly, it seems that people are aware but are doing nothing. I commend teachers and admin that stand up for what they believe is right. If it takes a vote of no confidence to get a principal out into a better placement so be it. Don't make it out to be a witch hunt. Work together. Lastly, do not bring race into it!

You must have been the one awful teacher at Parkville that did not get a good eval from previous administration. How dare you say Mr. Olmstead and Ms. Morrocco did not care about Parkville students. They cared about students and staff alike and were both admired. Now Ms. Journet has a lot to learn about elementary education and running a school....she is running this one into the ground!

Did you all see the last board meeting? Those Parkville parents seem stellar. Have sympathy for the staff that need to deal with them. It must have been embarrassing for all. I wonder how it was all handled by the principal. I hope there was an open discussion for the stafff's sake. Just more stress added to an already stressful situation.
