[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see so much negativity on this board for J-H and I'm trying to reconcile it with my experience. I have a child in the special ed pre-K program. Our experience with that program (parents/teachers/administrators) has been terrific. At first, I assumed it was because we were in special ed pre-k and "separate" from the rest of the school, but in everyday run-ins with other staff and teachers for the general school population of k-8 (school nurse, principal, other special ed staff, coaching staff, teachers), I also get a very warm, friendly, and competent vibe (much more friendly than staff at my other children's highly regarded school). Maybe this is just because we are only scratching the surface at J-H so I'm not seeing some of the more systemic problems that are identified on this board. Who knows....[/quote]

It’s not a problem with the teachers and staff. They’re lovely. It’s the students. I subbed there for 3 weeks and they offered me a long term job but I said no. The children are incredibly unruly and rude and disrespectful. It’s a shame because there are some good kids but the general demographic is not pleasant. Those teachers work their butts off and do everything they can, but at the end of the day they cannot change the child.[/quote]
