What people are saying

by a teacher
Thursday, October 26, 2017

The teachers don't teach the kids as much. Instead they want the kids to play games In and out of class.
Second, the teachers are the most racist people ever to teach. School is dominated by minority students. All the white teachers come from outside of the city. Third, they suspend the children for a very minor incident. Especially black and Hispanic children. The teachers hit the children and speak in very unbelievable works. Calling a monkey to student.
I won't say more. The school needs to be investigated how the treat minority students. How come out of 180 school days 88 days kids suspended.
That is not one child
That's many many many! Close Quote
