West High principal resigns

Shouldn't we be concerned that this person poses a danger to the younger children she will be supervising?
And to Carol: You are missing that it was not the principal that ran into trouble. It was a teacher.
They really need to start getting rid of poor administrators instead of putting all the pressure on teachers!!
Some schools may actually have more students enrolled in AP classes and even in some cases take them, but West scores more 3, 4, and 5s than any school in the state.
And yes, according to Newsweek, the most well-respected high school ranker, West High is number 1.
Oh yeah...state champs baby!
I'm just biased because all of my other high schools were more satisfying socially and more challenging academically than any schools I (or my siblings) have attended in the state of Utah. I think I must have gone to high schools that ranked #157 and above in Newsweek. :)
Why can't we just congratulate Ms. Parker on the great run she had at West for the last 9 years and wish her well in her new assignment? She has been instrumental in hiring all of the assistant principals and more than 70% of the staff in her tenure and has done a lot of good for the school including 2 accreditation runs and making AYP for NCLB! Thank you for your great service and best of luck to you in the Whittier community!
Teachers have great runs too.
However, I have seen them moved for not breaking up fights and in some instances breaking up fights.
There is a double standard in education.
Administrators take care of their own. Which looks to be the case here.
I like what The Voice | 4:40 p.m. June 16, 2009 said.
Administrators make a mistake move them and continue to pay them their large salaries.
It is not that way for classroom teachers...even the best of em'.
Teacher morale is at all time low and ineffective administrators are part of the reason!!
