Open Quote I worked at this school. The behavior problems with many students is staggering. Students hitting adults without discipline because of regulations. Administration does its best but alot parents or grandparents won't participate in changing poor behavior because the children don't behave aggressively at home. Parent involvement is weak because of above average number of single parent households and employment schedules. Apathy was witnessed multiple times during student teacher conferences and lies to parents about poor classroom behavior by students to avoid the consequences both at school and home.
