When teachers are threatened, disrespected, and harassed on a daily basis with little to no consequence, things spiral out of control. There is very little learning going on in that building. Your ramblings about the benefits of private schools are so misguided. The students who succeed at leo do so in spite of the system, not because of it. When every new hire at your "academic" institution bring up the same issues, maybe it's not the educators but the completely inept leadership. Instead of ignoring the issues and saying new teachers aren't real Leo "men", listen to their input. It's not a coincidence that you have a revolving door of teachers while your school continues to crumble.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
