Follow-up on PS 59: I went to the open house earlier this summer and was horrified. Everyone says the principal is "great". Having heard her speak, I have no idea why. No one could hear her and she did nothing to remedy the situation. Further, she had no answers to even basic questions. Discuss. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

are you so mom? she complained about the same thing. I'm curious - would you call someone awful because they are soft spoken? Or if you couldn't hear what she had to say, how would you know she was awful? I was confused by that the last time this was posted. [ Reply | More

OP-- this is the first time I have posted this, which must mean someone else agrees. And, no, it's not that she was soft-spoken it's that she had no answers to basic questions and did nothing to address the several people who told her they couldn't hear her. [ Reply | More

Yes, this conversation has been had on UB. What basic questions. Chances are she did not have the info from the DOE yet. She is a great principal. If you do decide to send dc to 59, I'm sure you will realize that. [ Reply | More

She's not a teacher. Doesn't have the teacher voice. It might be a good thing. It probably might mean she is not a screamer. [ Reply | More
