[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nicely written editorial from a new 9th grader. 
Why is a GDS seminar class being delivered lecture style? That is ridiculous. The whole point of a seminar is discussion which is clearly lacking in the 9th grade seminar. Perhaps seminar style is not age appropriate for 9th graders?

What makes this 9th grader even more brave is that they call out the teacher by name and that teacher is actually the junior grade dean. That actually takes balls for a freshman to write in any instance but especially about a CURRENT teacher of theirs and someone in the HS administration. Props to this student.

Honestly, I've been here as a parent at GDS more than 12 years and I've never ever sensed so much discontent bubbling under the surface from parents, students, and teachers about how the school is being run and how some people seem to go out of their way to stifle actual open discussions of the issues that matter. It's been 3-4 years of bad decisions and bad hires.
