grades at the HS

[bruce]

What the common tax payer does not understand is that the hallways and behavior of the high school is a direct result of Mary Lamping, Steve Hamlin, and Donaldo Batiste period. Do you know that students are allowed to tell teachers to F** off and even threaten them and are still returned into their classroom the next day. Why is Waukegan the dumping ground of Lake Co. we are the only school around who takes in kids who have been kicked out of other schools. Ask the students what happens when teachers tell kids in the halls to get to class...go ahead ask them, they will tell you what kind of disrespect takes place. If the administration (who has the ability to actually send them home, or have them arrested) would get out in the halls and quit being scared of the students, then it may be a better school. Also, lets be honest.....Waukegan has a serious parent problem or lack of parenting. It is not the job of the teachers to raise children as respectfull young men and women who value education. However, it is ABSOLUTLEY the job of the extremley well paid administration to run a safe, disciplined and educationally sound school. Walk into the HS someday about 11am (as I have) and that will tell you what kind of job the 150,000 thousand a year principal is doing. Oh...im sorry hes doing great because the failure rate has improved, with his wonderful preassure put on teachers to pass undeserving students-------which is what this post was origanlly about.
