Wednesday, June 19, 2013

The school indeed looks nice, and is in a good area. But that is where it stops. The administration and teachers are in a nasty cat fight that leaves the students in the middle. The administration is mostly worried about headcount and the teachers are mostly worried about doing the opposite of what the administration wants. When students go to a teacher for help, they are told nope, I only get paid to teach. Nothing after hours. The kids are bused in from everywhere, for that headcount and the classes have 40+ plus kids in them . Not the 26 posted here. It's a living breathing LAUSD nightmare.. All things bad happen here that could in public school.. Close Quote
