grades at the HS

[Snoopy]

You say we haven't dealt with the issue and we are hiding. Well some of us have and we are not hiding through the boards, we are sharing our info! Myself and others have tried to deal with this issue. I went to my department chair and they replied this happening all over the school. I went to my union rep and said it's not an union issue, more of a building issue. With that I did talk to someone higher up and they simply said to "do it." So, I could keep the grades and if something happens to my position then I can fight it with the union. But like you said, with the economy, we can't afford to take the chance! It's easier said then done, specially if you don't work at the hs!

Not looking for an argument, just sharing the info! You may not believe that this is going on, but it is!

Cheers!

The very last redeeming attraction that I have with Waukegan Schools is the Schuler program my eldest child is involved in. This happens to be a completely separate program from the school district. I walked the halls of the high school many times over the course of last school year, and I must say I was completely disgusted by the lack of control and adult leadership/supervision. The inmates were running the asylum. The security were attempting to get the kids to act somewhat appropriately. I stand to say that unless there is an enforcement of basic common decency, we have lost all credibility as a district and pray the state will run this district effectively.
I do not blame my best friend for sending his daughter to Carmel. This is not the Waukegan I grew up in. The only thing that keeps me participating in this district is my oldest child's love for the program she find herself in.
A very sad state of affairs we find ourselves in as parents. Teachers should take a stand against this madness. I may or may not have been walked to the principals office by my ear by Ms. Steinsifer in the 5th grade at Whittier school when I was misbehaving. I was more fearful if my parents would have been contacted from this momentary lapse of judgement.
I ask the teachers of this district to be men and women that we can be proud of. Be people of principle and lead the youth of Waukegan. Be the educator that the many parents wish you will be to our youth. Times are tough for everyone, I can only hope you are able to look into the mirror in the evening, and like who you see.
