[quote=Anonymous]Here's a post replying to Jaffe's article:
For the past 2 and 1/2 years, Wilson, LIKE EVERY HIGH SCHOOL IN THE CITY are lead by people who ARE NOT DISCIPLINARIANS, lack effective school management abilities, and who are SCARED of the students.  It is well know that when Dr. Wilma Bonner and Dr. Stephen Tarason served as principal of Wilson in the 1980's, 1990's, and early 2000's, Wilson's enrollment was the same or higher as it is today, but the school was well ran and always orderly, and the halls were clear during class time.  These two principals have a lasting reputation of not tolerating nonsense or behavioral problems from any students---AT ALL.

Face it folks, Peter Cahall is just not the right person to serve as principal of Wilson.  Since he has been the principal of Wilson, student behavoral issues are more frequent and out of control.  Although he may be a tall man, he is a very weak one when dealing with behavioral and other-related problems at Wilson.  Kids at Wilson are often seen disrespecting Cahall throughout the building and throughout the school day, and he does nothing.  There is no consistent approach to handling discipline problems at Wilson.  School rules are never enforced and students are allowed to do whatever they want and when they want.

I am a 3rd year Teach for America teacher at Wilson.  Believe me, the place can be scary.  I will not state my name as I fear severe retaliation for telling the truth.
