What kind of incompetent principal reacts to trouble making elementary schoolers by calling the cops on them?

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 115 points 11 months ago

This article:

https://www.texasobserver.org/why-was-this-11-year-old-honor-roll-student-put-in-solitary/

Should shed some light on the subject. Particularly:

Garza comes from a Brownsville education legacy. Her mother, Rachel Medina Ayala, was one of Brownsville Independent School District’s first female superintendents. Garza’s two sisters are also principals in the district.

So, in answer to your question:

What kind of incompetent principal reacts to trouble making elementary schoolers by calling the cops on them?

A nepotism hire with a vindictive streak.

This ain't incompetence, this is a power trip. She also called CPS on a mother for questioning her special education needs program

Family of educators inspires women to follow dreams

Excuse me but what are those dreams exactly 🌚

Also, the interior of the photo in the second article looks posh, I wonder if it's a school interior.

I would guess it is Rachel Ayala's dining room.

“So, when my daughters were young, all three of them, I would take them with me to school,” she said. “One of them would answer the phone, the other one would help me deliver textbooks, and the other one would help me do something else. So, they grew up there. … They’re just fantastic.”

Is this kinda... weird? I remember liking to help my dad out once in a while with simple tasks since I had to stay with him at work, but I don't know how I'd feel about doing it every day.

I don't know if I would say "weird". I think it is unusual. Shouldn't they have been going to class? Why was the principal in charge of delivering textbooks? How often do textbooks need to be delivered anyway?

[–] Deceptichum@kbin.social 43 points 11 months ago

The same that calls CPS on parents

Other parents have also complained to the outlet about the principal. One mother said that, after a meeting with Garza about her 5-year-old in which her own mom questioned the school's special education plan for the boy, Garza called Child Protective Services on her.

Conservative ones. Conservatives should never be in a position of authority over others, especially children!
