I can't believe the complaints about the Children's Museum is still going on. I remember having this discussion on the Disgrace Forums quite some time ago. They were all directed mostly towards the lady running it.
So why is she still there? How can so many people and Schools be so unhappy but yet she is still there? Attendance must be down from the reading I have down.
These complaints need to be addressed to a higher department that will finally take care of this once in for all to regain the reputation the Museum once had. My son is 9 and has never gone with myself and won't because of the stories that I have heard.
This is very sad to hear that we have a place built for children to visit and learn but don't because of one lady that is certainly replaceable.

I think it's all political. I have no idea why she's still there!

The Children's Museum is a non-profit organization, not a government function. I was going to suggest contacting members of their board of directors to discuss your feedback about the director. Unfortunately, there is no mention of their identities on the museum's web site. It's all about Marleen, the director. I see she is the former president of the board and I suspect the board might be stacked in her favor.
Still, if you think the museum is a vital community asset, you might consider contacting her and ask about requirements of becoming a board member. I'm afraid it'll probably require being a museum member and the cheapest way to do that is $150 a year, I think. But that gets you free admission.
What is it about the director that turns everyone off?

Most likely it would be her overall attitude and her give a shit factor. I have never been there or met her but these are what all the complaints are about in general.
