Friday, July 1, 2011

While there are many great teachers at this school, there are also many that act like nothing more than the middle schoolers they are teaching. The embarrass children in front of their peers and provide lower expectations for students based on their own personal beliefs. The elementary schools and high schools in the district are wonderful but the middle school has been very disappointing. Close Quote
