What people are saying

Friday, April 25, 2014

Most classes have well over 20 students, so I don't know where this site is getting the student/teacher ratio from. Maybe they're counting the substitute teachers not on duty.

No time to help new students accelerate to the level of other students who have already been in the academically advanced, but inhumane system. Nasty teacher attitudes. No response from principal when concerns are expressed by parents. Complaints about teacher behavior are ignored, even when brought to the district and state levels. They're "untouchable" because they're so perfect on the outside.

The kicker is, they'll claim they do everything they can to help a student, but backpedal when their bluff is called. In truth, they procrastinate when it comes to students with learning needs, then blame the parent. Will use student diagnoses to explain why it's the child's fault they're treated the way they are by faculty. Close Quote
