North High School

"Since Matt Smith left North High, there has been a steady decline in all areas of improvement. North High is back to the 2008 standards. Students are rude to teachers, they are more interested on what games to play with their school iPads, personal smart phones. Discipline is at a new low. The older staff have been forced out of the building,either forced to resign, retire or just gone. The younger teachers and new administration seem less student orientated and they don't care or see that what Dr. Smith's methods worked, they are doing what many parents do, not get student focused. They have school improvement leaders who are more orientated to blaming teachers than to bring in failing students and getting them back on track. It is time for a change"

"The school fired the drama, the two engineering education teachers, three science teachers, a math a sewing teacher. The football program stinks, they are worse than the Cubs. The principal penalizes us by shortening the lunch hour and the administrators are unfeeling toward us. They have got rid of the old caring teachers and the young are naive and believe anything the principal says. I can't see how the President obama came here and thought it was so great, and now we are a demonstration school. WHat for to demonstrate how the morale is terrible. A teacher had on the wall, "The beatings will continue until the morale improves." They need to fire all the administration here and get some people who really care about the students. I graduate this year, I sure hope what they claim I know is what everyone else knows."
