As I have previously stated,  I was a fan of Ms. Lange's when she started at Page.  My child loved her and I loved the positive energy that she brought.  I thought she was going to be an excellent addition to the fantastic teachers and staff that have been there as my kids have progressed from kindergarten through 5th grade.

I agree that some of the criticisms come across as petty.  However, there are some significant issues noted too.  The suggestion that all of the criticisms are racially motivated is very troubling and unfounded.  The students are talking about it and curious about this whole poorly managed issue.  The suggestion that the teachers are racist while Ms. Lange is apparently now out on leave is very unsettling for the kids.  Further, the social media postings by Ms. Lange's family are very unhelpful while continuing to assert the concerns about Ms. Lange are racially motivated.  At this point, I see no way Ms. Lange can return to Page - primarily do to her own actions.
