Monday, November 12, 2018

A horrible place to work, kids are disrespectful to subs and regular teachers. I've subbed multiple times since 2014 hoping to see a difference. Administration does not handle the discipline problems, has had 3 admin. changes and still not better. No discipline equals no academic success! P.B.I.S does not work for schools where Afr.-Amer. kids are the majority population! We have to learn to use programs that work for our kids, not their programs that have not been proven based on our kids and don't work when in use. The kids are too aggressive behaviorally, and they & their parents don't listen hence the ranking of 988 out of 1,027 Indy elementary schools-pitiful, but truthful! It makes me sad as a black person... Close Quote
