But former Largo High School employees allege that while the students were learning how to create a friendly environment, one of the worst bullies was the school’s principal.
In interviews and in legal actions filed against Principal Angelique Simpson-Marcus, the former employees said that Simpson-Marcus routinely belittled and berated staff, derided teachers and secretaries and made inappropriate comments about white teachers. Simpson-Marcus, who is black, continues to run the 1,100-student school in Upper Marlboro.
The Board of Education defends Simpson-Marcus as an effective school leader, a school system spokeswoman said.

If someone calls you a horse once, you can dismiss it. If someone calls you a horse twice you should take notice. If someone calls you a horse three times its likely that you are a horse.

ReplyDeleteJerks with jobs a lot higher in education than a principal can be bullies, too. A principal doesn't have as many people to take the blame for him/her as a higher-up does. There are only so many employees in one school.
