What happens when you have a thoughtful, patient, bright, and encouraging principal who eagerly works to help young people? Well, if you work in the CPS system you might get fired!
Such was the fate of our friend and outstanding principal, Ms. Carrmilla Young of Fuller Elementary School.
One might speculate that changes needed to take place at Fuller. My answer is this...Ms. Young had and was making significant progress with the staff and students in just ten months on the job! Ten months, that's all!!
Does anyone in their right mind think that changing an entire school; its climate, test scores, culture, manner of educating children and more will take place in ten months. Of course not!!
Quite simply, Ms. Young was never give a fair shot at helping the Fuller Elementary School Community. Part of the proof lies in the ISAT scores that CPS relies on to make decisions. Ms. Young, not having been at Fuller for even one year, never had the opportunity to administer the ISAT to see if improvements were taking place under her watch.
So much for credibility of CPS.
As long as this process continues in the foreseeable future - and it's more that likely - plenty of wonderful students, teachers and principals will be harmed. What a crime!
