She is giving assignments without giving requirements or teaching before assigning it. She sent a student to change another student’s work, on October 29th, to suit her interests instead of instructing the student how and why they needed to change their work. She was informed of physical violence in the classroom and did not report the student. One student slapped another student during class in an edit bay. An incident prior to the one just mentioned occurred between three students was not reported by Mattie Setzler, but by one of the students involved to Mr. Claude Smith. She detained the students during the day for over an hour when they had other classes to attend instead of reporting it to the office. According to the handbook, “Violence will not be tolerated under any circumstances,” but this teacher is currently tolerating it, by not sending students to the office.

The handbook also mentions that, “any school employee who has witnessed, or has reliable information that a student has been a victim of bullying as defined by this policy, shall report the

I believe this stemmed from three key ideas: trust, relationships, and business. To begin, I was extremely interested in the emphasis on trust and how trust is the glue that holds together a school. When reading I found myself nodding along at how important trust is to an organization especially a school that functions mostly on communication.

We also want the specific wrongs against our "children", made right, and perpetrators of these wrongs punished. We demand that actions be put in place to ensure students are not used as "scapegoats", where one student is expelled on what amounts to a technicality, while another,

Superintendent Elliott made some errors in this situation. A couple of the errors were responding to the parent complaint without referring him to the proper level and failing to listen to the principal. The complaint that was made by the parent is something that should have been handled by the building principal. Instead of trying to take care of the situation himself the superintendent he should have led the parent to the correct building level channel first to come to allow them the chance to come to a solution. The building principal should have been able to build a stronger school community relation with this parent by being honest and handling his mistake.
