Woodmont Middle School

Posted November 24, 2008

I agree with the parents.I am a grandmother of a student there.I pick my grandchild up in the evening and one teacher especially treats the children like they are in a prison.i've heard her talk to them very hateful. And the thing that upsets me is, that she fussing at the child about having her cell phone out.When every day i go up there approxmently 5-6 kids are playing with their cell phones.And they say nothing to them.Are they picking on kids they dont like , or is it a rule. they need to get their act together.If i see it happen again i may have to step out of my car.This particular teacher needs a new job,maybe out of south carolina.

I completely disagee with the prior parent's review of the school. I'm a teacher at WMS and have been there for close to 10 years. Over that period of time I have seen wonderful changes in the behavior of the students, staff morale, and overall schoo culture. Middle school students need structure and therefore they need rules. It is our job as educators to not only educate the students but to also teach them how the real world works. The new principal at the school has a very clear vision of where he wants the school to be and I know for a fact that the staff is behind him. This staff is 100% committed to improving student achievment. Are there problems? Yes of course there are. Teaching in a high poverty school has a different set of issues than teaching in a higher income school. Lets all work together!

I agree with alot of the parents that this school is like a prison!! Most of the teachers treat the children like they are trash. They complain about everything. Your child is expected to be a robot and never be a child. They have more rules instead of more qualified teachers with patience and respect. I know that their job is very tough, but don't take the job if you can't deal with kids being kids. I do think the newest principal is trying really hard to do a great job. I hope it works out for him and the children of Woodmont Middle. At this time I would not recommend this school to anyone.

I am currently a student at Woodmont Middle School, and I want to give you a student's perspective on the school. Personally, I hate it. I just enrolled here at the beginning of this year, and I have been to many schools before. Of all the schools I have been to, Woodmont has the absolute worst behaved kids I have ever seen. As for the teachers, they do whatever possible to discipline these kids. Not only are the people inappropriate, so are the rules.
