[quote=Anonymous]Personally I'd take feedback from teachers or people who worked there over parents. Reason being that educational experts and folks that are in the building all day will see more and have more to tell you. Of course parents will see a different side. I'm a teacher, also Black, and have done educational walk throughs at the school when I was a graduate student. I find the militant and rigid way that students are taught and expected to behave to be both highly offensive and harmful to children of color. Such extreme behavioral norms would never fly at a predominantly white school. As others have mentioned test scores are high because that is the sole objective and mission of the school. Teachers follow scripted lesson plans and students are taught to a test. Every colleague that I have had that worked there quit as soon as they could. [/quote]
