[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The worst was having McKnight visit my school last week and write up how wonderful it was to visit and see such engaged children. However, she "forgot" to mention that we have 3 elementary school classrooms without teachers, fights in the hallways and recess, Kids crying about how dangerous their classes are, and almost all students struggling academically. But clearly, the parents on this board believe the photo ops and think things are going swimmingly.

I have a feeling that once the problems really infiltrate the W schools, then you'll believe the teachers but there won't be many left. No current teacher is suggesting that anyone go into teaching. It's a horrible profession right now which is sad because it was always my dream job.[/quote]

I think she should have to visit the elementary schools with the SESES programs and see what happens on a daily basis. She can pick up what I like to call one of the “Viking shield walls” (large, padded protection that the staff can put between themselves and the students when the students become physical and throw things at adults) on her way into each classroom. She will see firsthand the damage to the rooms and hear the same language we hear throughout the hallway. Whatever you can imagine students saying, it’s much worse in reality. The staff that work in these programs look she’ll-shocked every day.[/quote]
