Hello Ms. Yupette,
Why was Kathy Francis forced out as Principal of Williamsburg Middle School? Because her focus was on EDUCATION, not on Patrick Murphy's, Libby Garvey's, and Abby Raphael's Anti-Education 'Recreation-Socialization-Remediation' agenda.
This happened before in Arlington - at Abingdon Elementary School in the late 90's. The then-Principal almost destroyed the school by attempting to make Abingdon School a "Party Zone". With the concurrence of Libby Garvey and Mary Hynes. Only after Abingdon School descended into chaos was the Principal replaced. By none other than Meg Tuccillo. It took YEARS for Abingdon School to recover. Concomitantly, Libby Garvey and Mary Hynes fought SOLs.
Now we have a Schools Superintendent who has a Ph.D. in Recreation. This (Arlington Yupette) blog warned everyone what was coming - the New Wakefield High School was designed as a recreation-remediation complex with classrooms.
Libby Garvey, Mary Hynes, and Abby Raphael are unfit to hold public office. Patrick Murphy is fit to be athletics director of a midwestern university.
Thank you Kathy Francis, for always putting EDUCATION FIRST.

Was the person who caused Kathy Francis so much grief at WMS the same person who was Principal of Abingdon School?
See the front page of the Post Today? There's a huge interest in Planetary Science. So what are Pat, Libby, and Abby doing about making the School System's Planetarium state-of-the art?
Not accepting excuses like "Soccer practice prevented me from doing my homework" will never win middle school principals popularity contests.
So Williamsbug Middle School students performed well academically? Only in Arlington can that be a cause for removing Williamsburg's Principal.
Wait a second Yupette, I attended a midwestern university. We wouldn't have let Murphy rise above a position in the freshmen phys ed program, checking out towels.
So who was blamed for the academic collapse of Abingdon School? Abingdon's (deleted deleted deleted) Principal? Libby Garvey? Mary Hynes?
No. Abingdon's ESL students were blamed and Libby Garvey and Paulie Ferguson transferred them and the ESL program to other schools.
Well of COURSE Abby, Libby, and Pat aren't worried about a 5,000 student growth in the school population over the next several years. They're counting on Zimmy to gentrify out 5,000 'problem' minority students and their parents.
Had to be a major screw-up by Libby and the School Board for the Dem Machine to bring in Meg Tucillo as Interim Principal.
Speaking of Republicants, what are they going to do about it besides have Bob Atkins complain at the next County Board meeting?
What do you do when a middle school teacher acts like a hyperactive 13 year-old?
The other hyperactive 13 year-olds who run Arlington have the offending adult principal removed.
Look, I told my good friend Hosni yesterday the same thing I told my good friends Pat Murphy, Abby Raphael, and Libby Garvey last year when I visited Wakefield High School in Arlington. You cannot have a thriving democracy unless you have a thriving national sports program.
What is needed in Egypt is a Super Bowl of Soccer. If Hosni and his government were able to implement that Egyptians would become like the shee..people in the United States.
So today I am appointing Pat Murphy, Libby Garvey, and Abby Raphael Special Team Sports Ambassadors to implement the Arlington Way of Team Sports in Egypt.
I am also issuing an Executive Order to enable the Voice of America and our Armed Forces to beam Sunday's Super Bowl Game to every Egyptian city, town, and village. It's time people in foreign nations are able to see what American Democracy is all about.
Sheeeeit Bro, you just gonna get in another war, with the Egyptians this time, running your mouth with all you m-fin jive talk.
Mr. Shaft, you are correct. President Obama is a jive turkey.
The triumph of Socialization over Education: "Middle School Principal Removed for Not Being Popular, Students Excel Academically".
Mr. President, thank you for finding a diplomatic way of removing three so-called educators from the Arlington School System.
Could you please send Team Sports Ambassadors Garvey, Murphy, and Raphael to Egypt on Air Force 2, as soon as possible?
Yupette, this could get more interesting yet. At the White Palace on North Quincy Street Meg Tucillo acted as buffer between Murphy's calisthenics regime and principals who put children, education and academics first. While she is off healing wounds at Williamsburg expect hastened frosting of the relationships between Murphy and the educators at the other schools.
Education? Libby Garvey? When asked about Wakefield's high drop-out rate Libby responded: "So what? My daughter didn't finish Wakefield in 4 years."
Does anyone remember the name of the Principal at Abingdon School before Meg Tucillo was made Interim Principal?
Let's not leave Arlington's leading promoter of the status quo - Scott McCaffrey and his newspaper the Sun Gazette - out of the discussion.
McCaffrey has to hit the quarterly profit targets set by his newspaper's Fortune 100 owners. So he can't print anything but PR from the School Board and drivel about the squirrels in his neighborhood.
Wonder if Kathy Francis will be a villain in a forthcoming Jane McCafftonelli Barcroft novel? Like everyone else who ever opposed the Dem Machine's plans to turn Arlington into one big recreation-entertainment-party zone?
'Party's Over Here' succinctly describes the County Board's and School Board's agenda for Arlington County.
Patrick Murphy has to be nuts. Why else would he oppose spending $425,000 to renovate the Planetarium? The total FY 2012 school system budget will be $480 million.
Patrick Murphy is so relentlessly anti-knowledge, anti-learning, anti-intellectual it's frightening.
The Virginia Education authorities should have been here investigating what occurred at Williamsburg Middle School when Kathy Francis first started to encounter serious problems with "Jocko" Murphy's staff of team sports fanatics.
I've e-mailed information about Libby Garvey to the Adam Ebbin and Rob Krupicka campaigns. Libby Garvey is a TOTAL POLITRICKSTER who is only competent to play more political games with our children as pawns. That this woman wants to run for Virginia State Senate indicates how sorry and pathetic our political system has become.
Meanwhile, in Alexandria, the School Board is discussing lengthening tthe school year and ways of helping teachers become more effective educators.
"Mom, Coach Murphy said we don't have to do homework this week. Our soccer championship game is more important".
22303, Alexandria's school system is similarly f-up.
The entire school board, and the county board that supports it have got to go. We are going on three decades of total control of our lives by one political party with the acquiescence of the other political parties. What is the result? A continuous slide to total mediocrity which is costing us a fortune.
This is a achool system that's going to be tasked with EDUCATING 5,000 additional students over the next 6-7 years?
Fire Patrick Murphy and replace the ninnies on the school board.
Who is Meg Tuccillo anyway? Commander of the Democrats' educational SWAT Team?
It all fits together. Whether it's the County Board or School Board they share a common goal - drive out anyone who is concerned about education and replace them with Yuptards who only care about recreation and socialization.
