Pointing out that teachers always want more discipline (!), CCSD Superintendent Nancy McGinley was quick to voice her rebuttal. Her tough response to the complaints was to send emails:
"McGinley planned to e-mail all of the principals of schools where more than 70 percent of teachers cited problems with the way their school handles discipline. She said she was doing so to ensure that the principals were aware of their concerns."Well, that should be effective!
All of these emailed principals are serving at the pleasure of the superintendent. Where does the buck stop?

wow. just what we need is another mcginley email. i hope the tremors don't trigger an earthquake. some poor child might get hurt.
That's kinda sad that the principals wouldn't already know that there were discipline problems in their schools without having to receive an email from McGinley. That's just the way it is, however. SAD!!
And if the principals take a tough approach, they will get criticized by the public, parents and community for not doing their job.
It's easy to discipline children who read at or above grade level, have parents who are educated and/or affluent, and who attend schools where one infraction can get you suspended or expelled from choice (charter), private or magnet schools.
I'm guessing she won't have to email those principals.
