What people are saying
by a teacher
Wednesday, May 16, 2018

Open Quote I am a teacher with McGuffey, soon to be former teacher. There is a culture of disrespect from the students, and the staff receive no help from the administration. This has been going on for years and has lead to chaos in the classroom where some students ignore rules and redirection and distract from the learning that should be taking place. The admin. expect the teachers to handle this but tie our hands when it comes to discipline. They will not allow us to remove disruptive students from class, nor when a student does something so outrageous that it finally warrants the attention of the administration, they do not follow through on the consequences. This school has great teachers but due to the toxic environment created from the lack of respect and consequences for students misbehavior, the education suffers and so do the students who are there to learn and whose parents will take action if needed.
