I agree 100%. Excellent post "Daily Run".

Not sure what you are saying here? Are you saying every student is treated the same? If that is the case, I can tell you from personal experience that is not true. Not a she/he said deal.

Kids have been in this school for aver 13 years worth,, been there since first opened with one,, Never had a problem,, Have heard so many stories, about how bad it is,,,
It is what it is,, Can not argue the system. I will not argue the point,,, I know better. Lot of people cry wolf when in fact it is really a mouse.

Just saying,,, IMHO.

.

And lots cry wolf when it's really teachers unions not getting their way, keeping kids in a bad, bad neighborhood school for the sake of keeping the per-pupil expense money there. This is where parents' "choices" are ignored and even hated.

You can call it crying wolf because YOU didn't experience it, but we in fact PERSONALLY know students that were asked to leave for a myriad of reasons. Secondly, I know of athletes treated much differently than the other students. I'm not mentioning this for any other reason than to make the point that it isn't all sunshine and lollipops. Rules are selectively enforced regarding students, teachers and other employees. I am a teacher(not there) and parent that was involved with a school athletic program. Some of the stuff is no different than you would find at any other school. It is a good school that has great facilities, nothing more and nothing less. But it sure is not the utopia some would make it out to be.
