Adams Elementary School

Posted August 20, 2006

I am a teacher at Adams and of all places I have taught, Adams is by far the best. The teachers are passionate and the rest of the staff does wonders in supporting our students. There is definitely proper discipline, but it is important to remember that discipline is not the purpose of school. Students at Adams learn the meaning of respect through daily interaction with culture and academics.

There is minimal discipline given to the students; they are unruly. I am educated, and I was reared to be respectful; however, many of the teachers classify everyone the same. As a result, instead of being treated as a responsible parent, they are condescendingly rude, abrupt, and at times, unnecessarily disrespetful and cruel. The secretarial staff is highly unprofessional (ex., having to wait until they are finished with their personal phone conversations). Though the principal and vice-principal are personable, it does not make up for the rest, who should take classes in tact and professionalism (or the principal and vice-principl who should have more of a handle on their staff). I have actually seen two staff members looking at my child angrily, because she chose to use her umbrella on a particularly hot day. If the magnet schools were not so far away, I would place my child in one.
