Is there anything the webmaster at LDOnline can do about blocking this person’s messages - this is a violent and disturbed person.

I agree. This person has serious problems.
This needs to be removed from the website.

What a shame that someone has so little compassion for others.
Ever heard the saying “but for the grace of God, that could be me?
well, peter principal, but for the grace of God, you or someone in
your family could be affected by a learning disability.
you need therapy.

Once again Pete, you really know how to get things going.

As far as you and your office girl are concerned, I’d be more embarressed of the slew of notes you sent if I were you. Thank God I’m not you, but none the less… Don’t you even realize that these notes were written by products of your proud public education system? If I were you, I’d take a good look as to how well I were doing as a system, and then pull the plug being that you have failed the children miserably.

You and your wonderful ex, Sid, amaze me that you ever parted company. It must have been cozy there under your rock where you both could slither so easily.

Wonderful attempt to press the responsibility towards parents over the summer to brush up on math and other studies. Thanks to your ineptness, we are already well versed and helping our kids all year, why would summer be any different. Needless to say, any progress forward is of no thanks to you.

Regarding wallowing and pitty pool, I suggest you dig your head out of your !#$%!$^ and realize that it is you who is sitting in your administrative conference room panicking that you are losing control over those who offend you most; parents who give a damn about thier kids.

Once again, as always, it is abundantly clear that you rise to the top of the pond scum you swim around with.

Oh what the heck, thanks for the laughs :)

Never have respected your PHd.

Always hoping you’ll turn an ankle in those stilletoes, but give Sid a good kick in the backside for the rest of us while you are wearing them.

Please understand that this person is a parent “playing” the part of a deranged principal. This is NOT real and should not be taken seriously. It is meant as a bit of comic relief for parents who have to deal with the sometimes unbelievably dense and uncaring administrators out there. Yes, it also kind of stings because it comes dangerously close to what some parents actually experience (even if those mocking words are not said out loud,) it’s what we parents often feel they must be thinking to act the way some of them do.

If you are relatively new, then you would not be aware that this is kind of a running joke on this board. Peter Principal tends to appear off and on with no warning, but often in response to a particularly absurd situation posted here (in this case the article on humiliating mock-awards given to LD students at an end of year school ceremony.) Parents are able to take pot shots at this fake principal and his/her abusive statements. Hopefully this allows some of us to let off a little steam and say what we wish we might in real life with no real life retaliation! Take a deep breath and join in if you’d like to take a jab or two. Or you can just skip over these messages if they hit a little too close to the quick.

But can you take it? :=>

I don’t know why I’m saying this, but I hope you continue to post on this board. You keep us on our toes. Why don’t you put a disclaimer at the end of your post for the new people so they don’t get upset?

By the way, my son told me about the awards assembly you held yesterday for the entire school. After you handed out your awards, you asked that everyone who thought they were stupid to stand up. My son looked around the auditorium and saw that no one stood up. Then he stood up. You then asked, “Do you think you’re stupid Stephen?”

Stephen replied, “No Dr. Principal, but feel sorry for you standing up all by yourself.”

Just wanted to agree with LJ that I get a big charge out of these messages and the resulting conversations between yourself and others.

Hope you are enjoying your summer without us pesty parents!!!

It is no fun when satire is explained„„let me explain….

I’m familiar with Peter Principal, but I SWEAR she was the principal at my daughter’s elementary school years ago. Guess what? She was FIRED!!! There IS a God!!!!! Who knew such a person could really exist? Thankfully, my incredibly perceptive daughter (who was called lazy by said principal, and about whom we were told by same principal, “some kids just aren’t Harvard material”)—well, that little girl knew by the time she was 9 years old there was something wrong with this woman. (and said principal was obviously unaware that my daughter topped out three of the Wechsler subtests—like Peter, she assumed this was just a dull normal child). I also scared this woman many, many times, because I actually displayed enough intelligence to find the superintendent’s phone number, AND dial the phone!!!! Yes, some of us have dealt with administrators like this—these posts make me laugh like #$^&#@@#. Bad memories can actually be funny, provided you’ve gotten past it, and other administrators have proven themselves quite intelligent and responsive—especially when you know the source of the misery can and will be booted from her $100,000 a year position. Justice served.

I like to have a good laugh and PP gets the job done. All of us with special kids worry more than other parents I know.

Keep the stress relief coming.

The Peter Principal states that employees rise through the ranks until they reach a level where they become incompetent. Laurence Johnston Peter (1919-1990) set forth the principal!
