Are you still pursuing this ...Dear Mr. Scott,<br /><br />Are you still pursuing this problem? We are new parents and are concerned about several things at LaGuardia. Our son is in classes in which there are sometimes no teachers. There is a tremendous morale deficiency and the school seems infected with a fear rather than collaborative experience. That the above comments were made by parents should clearly be a concern for the DOE and anyone who cares about LaGuardia High School. We're trying to get in touch with anyone we can with more information.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16158823655259404691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-75864417870209731312017-11-06T07:36:51.812-05:002017-11-06T07:36:51.812-05:00Carolyn wanted me to correct this - her son gradua...Carolyn wanted me to correct this - her son graduated in '11.ed notes onlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15018047869059226777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-82555985392786881622017-11-06T01:21:20.138-05:002017-11-06T01:21:20.138-05:00Lisa Mars is not a cultural fit for LaGuardia. If ...Lisa Mars is not a cultural fit for LaGuardia. If she got tenure, let her be transferred as principal to another school. where her lack of vision and appreciation for this unique school of the arts doesn't matter. Her "Principal's Welcome" letter on the website is general and poorly written. "Each and every year features a new and ever-greater celebration of what makes us one of the nation’s most prestigious high schools: our proud heritage over more than 70 years, .... yada yada." Please, someone buy this woman a copy of Strunk & White's Elements of Style, and move her to a different school. Then, bizarrely, she signs off as "Dr. Mars". No first name,(Yo, Lisa?): icy and off-putting, while breaking every convention of letter-writing etiquette. These may seem like small matters, butif she can't put her finger on or express what's different about LaGuardia, or express in an concrete way its enormous value to talented NYC kids (and to the City itself) that she simply doesn't belong there. That morale is down, that teachers are leaving, students are unhappy... for what? As a former parent (son, Instrumental, '07) who continues to attend LaG events, I'm sad and infuriated that Lisa Mars has been given license to pervert the mission of the school she was ostensibly brought on to nurture and protect.

She pushed out wonderful guidance counselors, including the Conservatory counselor, as well as the wonderful John Sommers. She seems to stalk around looking for anyone possible to torture or fire. She is no friend to the students, blocks kids from practicing or preparing their audition materials after school, and won't let teachers into the school to prepare or work during the summers. It is like a reign of terror now.

Hates children, hates teachers, hates parents. So sad she remains in power.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
