What people are saying

by a student
Wednesday, April 24, 2013

The staff here are not all bad; however, teachers- specifically those teaching 11th grade classes- are very poor at their job. They have no sympathy for the more busy students. My personal experience as a member of the golf team having to stay out until 9:30 for a match one day had come to school the following day with History homework not completed; I did, however, complete my math homework which I believed needed more attending to. When I went to school and informed my teacher that I had not completed the homework I received a, "Too bad" as well as a zero. The staff here are particularly in favor of the students who inhabit the A-Wing, where our music department lies, because ever since I've attended this school the marching band kids have always been able to receive relief from homework and were even allowed to take tests at a latter date than others. The teachers also throw blame at students for not understanding a subject that was not well-taught. I agree that more can be accomplished by the student at home, however, in certain classes- Honors Physics specifically- a large majority in all classes struggle and barely maintain a C. Moreover, the struggles of the student and "complaints" are often fought back with demeaning sarcasm in front of the class as to embarrass and upset the single teenager. Also, the security guards are unnecessarily forceful towards students that appear "less aggressive" than others. Non-Caucasian groups of students are yelled at for rule-breaking (i.e. loitering in the halls) whereas many of the darker-pigmented groups are ignored completely. Currently- in this year of 2013- the rules of current principal Mr. White have indeed helped turn some students' ways of life around and more homework is being completed; however, this system targets many who do not deserve a punishment such as those swamped with work or projects and extra-curricular activities. Yes, all should be doing their homework, but I believe the student who is not involved in a sport or activity and has easier or less classes is more at fault for not completing assignments than the Honors student with 8 classes that has to stay after school for a club they are a member of everyday. I am not proud of Bolingbrook High school. It saddens me to attend this school and I cringe at the mere fact that I try hard in a school that shows no respect for the students who care and that want to go somewhere. Close Quote
