Katherine Barr, the principal, is the worst principal that I’ve ever met in my life. She claims that she’s “teaching kids lifeskills” when in reality, she yells at little kids when they’re crying.
Along with that, she’s very forgetful. She forgot the birthdays of so many kids that it wasn’t even funny; why, when she forgot my son’s birthday last year, I gave her a piece of my mind!
She seems to think that any sort of noise level in the lunchroom is unacceptable; it’s LUNCH! Kids are supposed to be loud because they’re kids! She yelled at my son for talking in a NORMAL TONE about Batman! She just makes me very angry.
Why, one of my son’s friends has an older brother who goes to that school, and he told me that today in the lunchroom, a group of girls were yelled at… for choosing their seats. Apparently, she got angry at them all because they were standing there (no one was actually walking around, but they were trying to figure out where to sit,) and she just yelled at them! I honestly feel that that’s just rude; along with that, every student was that she’d yelled at was either poor or a minority. The four students were Asian, Filipino, black, or, in the case of the Irish freckled girl, very, very, poor. Not only is she rude, but also has internalized racism, or so I’ve theorized.
In other words, most of my issues with this school stem from the, as the teacher of my son’s new class at Nea would say, the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad, principal. Everyone else is great, though.
