What people are saying

by a parent
Thursday, June 9, 2011

The new principal at Edison is haughty, egocentric, and completely ignorant to the needs of students and parents. She has created an atmosphere of distrust, hostility, and uncertainty. I cannot believe that in a district as large as DPS principals with no prior teaching experience or familiarity with the magnet program are placed in schools such as Edison. It appears the district supports the maneuvers of homogenization of the curriculum and instruction. It is simply disappointing that rather than raising the bar to the level of the best and brightest, this administration is on the path to mediocrity. Close Quote
