Good point. It might sound selfish, but most of the problems we had were a direct result of other parents not giving a ____ about what their kids were doing. We were by no means perfect, but it is a major problem to try to raise your kids right when the rest of the "village" (thanks Hillary) doesn't care one way or the other.

| I am not by myself in believing that Parental Interfearence has ruiined our schools, kids programs ( just look at you high school, little league/pop warner sports programs) and about anything that a parent with a child involved participates in. Let the BOA do their job. It you don't like how things are going RUN for office yourself, But please let the teachers teach.

| My understanding is that teachers who leave the system for retirement are not being replaced --- no money for additional teachers right now, so the classes will have to be combined meaning more crowding in the class room and a larger ratio instructors vs. students.

| luv - not sure who you are dealing with - but in my dealings ,it just seems to be the opposite - there were parents in that office & @ the board who were complaining as much about wrongdoings in favor of their child/children as well as against.their children needed guidence on a variety of different fronts & it was not happening.a big part of the blame can go towards "the no child left behind" bs .... but I'm afraid its more "they just don't care" then anything.& from what i am getting on this end - the teachers (most not all) are in this position of "just a job" feeling because of the higher administration.Now,I'm sorry to say that ...especially about someone I've known almost my whole life.... but I am absolutely disgusted by what I have witnessed & been told about the admin from warwick.the only thing i am grateful for is to know that i am not the only one the had to deal with this!!! - sorry that everyone had to or continues to go through it - just glad I'm not alone!!!I cannot even begin to tell you had excited the majority of the parents who are excited about Susan Price!!! I'm only sorry that we only get her for 1 yr.... but then we have mr evans to look forward to (please don't take him yet boe) & we are finally excited about almost being ready for middle school....because believe me....most of my daughters classmates were not up to this point!!!

Lets just let the inmates run the asylum!!! Of course I don't believe all adults tell the truth. I my dealings with parents 99% are out for their owns kids benefit regardless of who they walk on.

| I know it is horrible and I am not a teacher or parent.I am a volenteer at Sandy Hill's afterschool FunClub program.I am only going into seventh grade next year but, I have Known Mrs.Price sense first grade,her first year there.I have attended Sandy Hill sense pre-k.Mrs.Price takes me home everyday when she is ready to go home.I truely respect and admire Mrs.Price.I know her personally and from school.She is the best principal in existance.She does not deserve this and neither do the wonderful, bright, talented kids at the best school in existance.It is only the best school in existance because Mrs.Price made it that way.The teachers and myself want her back and we aren't going to rest until we get her back.If you are a parent of a child at Sandy Hill please reply to my message and let me know if the parents are involved maybe it will help get Mrs.Price back.Thank you for your time.

| Hi. I have gone Sandy Hill sense I was in pre-k.Mrs.Price came to Sandy Hill when I was in first grade.I have known her for six years counting this year.I am a kid but don't let that cloud what you think about my judgement.I am going in to the seventh grade this year.Mrs.Price would sit with me in the afternoons when my mom was late picking me up.We became friends from the very start.When I left Sandy Hill in fifth grade I promised I would come visit.I did after two months of school.Mrs.Price came up with the idea that I could come however many days I wanted to Sandy Hill and help with FunClub.It is an after school program for the kids there.I soon became atached to the wonderful,bright,talented kids that I chose to work with everyday of the week.I would help my fifth grade teacher until Mrs.Price was ready to go home.She would take me home everyday.Mrs.Price is a wonderful, kind, caring, smart, compassionate,woman.I admire her and have lost sleep over the fact that she will not be the principal of Sandy Hill Elementary.All of the teachers, myself included, have lost sleep,we are so upset,we have cried our eyes out,and we are terribly upset about our loss of the best principal in existance.We all want her back and we are trying to find a solution to get her back.Anyone would be truely lucky to work with or even have the pleasure of meeting Mrs.Susan Price.Thank you for your time.

| You are right about administrators being out of the schools too much. Between county meetings and all the workshops they go to - some several times a year to other states. They take up a place where a teacher could go. Then they complain about the absence of teachers....

You should go see judge judy. she would set you straight of who to believe. When I was a kid if a grown-up said it that was it. I bet you were raised the same way. When did it change?
i know your question was towards abbeys mommy--but we can do all we can with our OWN children--other people's children are a different story. My children respect adults as I have taught them--and as my mother had taught me. However--I DID volunteer in my son's classroom--and there were a handful of kids just in his class that had ZERO respect for adults.
My point. Teachers are afraid to correct kids for fear of legal issues and parents like these on here who will cause a stinks if heaven forbid their little one neeeds guidence.

Do you recall a short time ago a certain Delaware poster, that is supposed to be banned from newszap posted some actions his wife did? He said his wife snatched up some child by the neck. My children are grown now, but when they went to school and had problems with a teacher and I went to school the teachers and principal changed their tune very fast. I'm not saying my children never did anything wrong but I would not tolerate a teacher or principal putting their hands on my child unless they wanted the same and I made them aware of this. A parents involvement really changes a lot of things in a school.
Many of us were paddled and spanked as kids. I think we made out just fine, certianlly better and more respectful than todays kids.

Teachers,administrators,and coaches are afraid to do their job because of the over involved parent. I have seen it many times myself. Parents making threats, believing their child before a grown up. Happens all the time.

I've read with interest the comments. As a person who has been acquainted with most of the professionals discussed in this forum. I agree with most of what is said. However, Mrs. Teat has turned the school around by dictating to teachers what they will and will not teach. They have no lee-way for their own ideas. Her people skills are atrocious and if you are not one of her "chosen" few, it is very uncomfortable. She is an excellent reading and instructional person, but has no idea of other programs. She is not comfortable with discipline, but I'm sure Mr. Stout will be able to handle that well. Mrs. TEat should be at the Board of Education as the Reading and Math Supervisor. That would really help the whole county.
I know several of her staff members and they said the morale at HES was not good this past year. Lots of discipline problems that weren't addressed and caused major disruptions to the classroom and school.
Hopefully, the team of Teat and Stout will be able to change that. Mr. Stout is an amazing administrator. HES is lucky to get him

| If the schools and teachers in Maryland are anything like Delaware they darn sure need parents involvement. Do you recall a short time ago a certain Delaware poster, that is supposed to be banned from newszap posted some actions his wife did? He said his wife snatched up some child by the neck. My children are grown now, but when they went to school and had problems with a teacher and I went to school the teachers and principal changed their tune very fast. I'm not saying my children never did anything wrong but I would not tolerate a teacher or principal putting their hands on my child unless they wanted the same and I made them aware of this. A parents involvement really changes a lot of things in a school.

| LUVING IT - i'm sorry ,but i disagree - I'm telling you from experience...if we were not going in these schools - seeing the things going on - alot of people would be appalled.i know alot of parents that go ,that volunteer & not necessarily in their own childs classroom.i can only speak for warwick because thats where my child goes...but the teachers there don't even get a planning period & they go from one subject to the next,no down time in between & the things that the parents go in for is to help with things like making copies of things,getting materials together for a group lesson various things of that nature.the school begs for volunteers.there are students out there bullying,threating to beat up some of the children,there is a child there who threaten to sic her child molesting grandfather ( that is what she called her own grandfather...these are not my words) on another child,this same child threatened to go to another childs house,kill her & bury her in her own front yard...things like that & this child was NEVER suspended or expelled.More than enough of the parents there have been filing complaints,not just about this one child ,but several others .now you want to tell me why you think we should stay out & let them do their jobs? because they don't do their jobs...that's why we need to be there ...

| I think parents have ruined our schools. From spending too much time in the school helping out to coaching the sports teams. Let the professionals do their jobs and our kids will be much better off.

I want to add that I personally have never heard anything bad or out of the way about MaryBeth Glessner. She has always treated me and my child right.
(And I'm at the school alot)

| All of my children have went to Hurlock Elementry. My children range in ages from 27 to 6. I have always loved Hurlock Elementry and have nothing but great things to say about all of the staff. My daughter absolutley loves all of the teachers and Mrs. Teat and Ms. Glessner.

One has to give Regina Teat credit for turning Hurlock Elementary around. I have heard teachers that have been there for years remark about how she has helped to improve instruction by providing excellent professional development opportunities for her teachers....she expects excellenance from all, demands it on occassions, and regardless if one likes her personality or not she has allowed her teacher to teach to their full potential...now discipline is another issue....I am not sure if that is her fault or the lack of support from the parents...I as a parent require that my child goes to school to learn and support strict expectations of my children. She has assembled a very professional staff and they have fantastic teachers from Prek-5th...and some great support staff. Frank Stout will be an added asset....one parent said they don't understand why they did not send Mrs. Teat to Mace's Lane to get the academic standards up....she could get the job done and would probably make a few enemies doing so....she and Vaughn Evans know how to get the job done!!!!
Your child's education will only be as good as you demand...make your presence known, support the teachers and you will reap the benefits.

It is FACT that the Warwick Principal has " gotten rid of " MANY wonderful teachers over the years . I wish I could get just a ONE paragraph statement from each of the ones that I know left because of her . What a story it would tell .

Sounds as if change is happening in Dor Co School systems!! Leadership within the school and on the board! I heard this weekend that an elected board member resigned!
My child goes to Warwick. I have to say that my dealings with Mrs. Ruark were few and far between, however, there is no love loss with her leaving. She has made myself and other parents (and teachers) feel unwelcomed. That's my 2cents for what it's worth.

| wow homegrown - that's alot of info!!! I have heard that same story about Gleesner from more than a dozen parents!!! while i cannot verify the particular things you shared about ruark...i can tell if those you mention are issues.... then believe me ..there is alot more than that & i am hearing new details from parents almost on a daily basis.i just don't know what happen....it was not something i expected from her since i have known her for a very long time.my guess would be that glessner & ruark are going to be being watched very closely...maybe thats why they put them together.though i know who glessner is ,i don't know her personally,but i have talked to several people who know both & said it is not going to be pretty when these 2 come together on aug 25th!!!!

Susie Price was once the VP of Hurlock Elementary and did a great job there! She's personable and focused on the child's success! From what I've heard from some of my friends, she's done an amazing job at Sandy Hill as well! Congratulations Warwick parents on getting a keeper! I haven't heard much about your VP but I know Mrs. Price will be able to keep her well contained and make the best of what sounds to be an ugly situation!
Sandy Hill, my sympathies to you! I have nothing good to say about Mary Beth Glessner! My children attended Hurlock and all I can say is, she's more concerned about her looks, her boyfriend, her fingernails and what time it is to leave! She talks about everyone under the sun and doesn't know the meaning of 'confidentiality'! She has personally shared things with me that I shouldn't have known! Her lack of professionalism is frightening considering the position in which she holds! My understanding is that Michelle Ruark is about the same. My brother's children attend Warwick and I've heard him say several times how snippy, vain and rude Mrs. Ruark can be! One of my friends teaches at Warwick and she has said several times that if you're not a "chosen" teacher, Mrs. Ruark makes life horrid! I do wish you, parents, students & staff , all the luck with the two you are getting!
Now Hurlock is getting a new VP, I know we/they are happy to be getting rid of Glessner and looking forward to some changes! Mrs. Teat, I understand, will still be at the helm of the school. She has done wonders for the academic part of the school! When she first came, my oldest was in 3rd grade and suffering from lack of direction and good teaching! Mrs. Teat came in and has turned everything around. Now that same child has been inducted into NDMS' honor society! The only complaint I have about her is her people skills! She's not the friendliest soul and seems to be hot and cold, depending on the day! Maybe this Mr. Stout will help her see that she is a great principal and needs to be more thoughtful to the parents and her staff. Everyone seems to be more willing to do what is right when asked/spoken to with kindness.
Well, off to work but thanks for listening and good luck to all!
It's not fair attacking someone while hiding behind screen names!!!!!!!
