Open Quote The teachers blame the kids for not learning. My child's teachers have missed a huge amount of days. If teachers don't like what they are told to do they just ignore it. Many teachers even admit to not knowing how to grade student work. Too many teachers are living in the past. Close Quote

Open Quote Supervision is an issue in these classrooms. The school has taken a drastic fall in the state rankings. This has to be due to the administration... I am sure the excuse will be budget cuts. If this were true then all schools would be having issues. Saegertown was at one time a school you could be proud to have your children attend, but now it is a school we are looking to get out of. The lack of care and supervision is dissapointing.
