She's a first time principal and seems to feel a need to make her mark on a school that was superb before she arrived. First thing she did was to ban the annual dance because student's feelings might get hurt. We've been having the dance for years and I seriously doubt that anyone's feeling have gotten hurt. That's more a junior high and high school thing. Next she banned high fives and handshaking, again because people might get hurt. When I was in school we had classes in etiquette that included shaking hands, but I guess she feels she knows what's best for our children. Lately, she has removed the door between a busy hallway and the girls bathroom because of an act of vandalism. Apparently she feels that exposing a couple of hundred girls to the eyes of any passerby when they're in the bathroom is an appropriate punishment for an act of vandalism by one student. Group punishment rarely works - can only work if the group knows who the offender is - and should never be used to shame and embarrass children about using the bathroom. When asked about her decision she replied that she wasn't punishing anyone, she just removed the door. Looking for a great school? You're a few years too late for this one.

My kids attend this school. The fence is for security and we don't allow dogs on the campus because…read moreof pee and feces. Humans are welcome on campus through certain gates when school is not in session. Academically the school is very strong and most teachers are great. Kids are driven and interested in a wide range of activities. It's ridiculously expensive and that is a definite turn off, so for that reason I'm glad they're almost done. But as an alum, the school is strong and stronger than it used to be. We also live very close to the school so I appreciate that my kids can bike there. Both my kids are going to very good colleges and while not perfect, I'm glad I went there, my kids went there and I am glad to know so many parents who volunteer.

My family lives 3 blocks from STP. The school takes up a vast city block, which, if resources were…read morebetter allocated, could be a welcome resource to the surrounding community- there are baseball fields, sledding hills, and great pathes for running. Instead of engaging with the local community- and despite benefiting from the community's tax dollars- STP has ensured that none but their students have access to "their" land by erecting a large ugly fence. The fence's ugliness is an apt visual representation of the slice of attendees that I get to see each school day: entitled parents or their entitled teenage children speeding through our neighborhood, running stop signs in their BMWs and Audis and recklessly endangering other people in their desperate hurry to wait in the long drop-off line. STP advertises itself as inclusive, stating that it is raising "tomorrow's leaders," which is both an ironic- inclusivity RARELY involves fences- and doubtful claim, given that true leadership almost never grows from within a culture of privilege and willful selfishness. St Paul is absolutely festooned with great schools that are not only free but actively demonstrate the values of inclusion, equity and justice. Notably, these schools do not have fences to keep out tax payers, and they usually work to engage the surrounding community. Given the wide availability of good schools, I find it hard to understand what could possibly draw STP families other than proximity to other rich white people and the daily ego-massage of being assured your offspring are "special." When I see STP cars speeding down Davern every morning- the drivers oblivious to anything or anyone outside their german-made cocoons- this definitely looks like the case.
