We, the students of Matoaca Middle School, demand the return of a less cruel grade system, as the current one is simply inadequate. That system has negatively affected or will affect every student at the Matoaca Middle School, and will continue this downward spiral for the coming years. Furthermore, your actions caught us unprepared for the simple hostility displayed with your actions. The signatories pledge their dedication to the cause. We hope that you consider to agree to the outlined request, so that this is resolved quickly. The current system should be resigned to the dustbins of the school’s history, and we can move forward for the future students.
We the CBG students at Matoaca Middle are really smart, but sometimes forget that we have work to accomplish. The regular education eighth graders are not much different than us, so why do they not have this policy in effect. We might not make it into the specialty Centers because our grades plummet because we turn in an assignment we forgot about one day late. Things should be changed because it is unfair that the regular education eighth graders do not have to follow this rule. Noone is perfect, people forget things, so why punish our future for an assignment we turn in one day late.
Why do we students have to pay the cost for confusion. Some

Teachers must not be allowed to continue to bully their students. Teachers have the upper-hand against their students, so many instances of bullying can be brushed off as disciplinary actions. Announcing a
If I was the principle of Metro High School I would use the four types of reinforcements to motivate the students to improve performance and attendance.* This change of policies would realisticly take place over long period of time with a good system of data collection and other types of control functions. It is also very important to have the parents of the children involve as much as possible.
Preview: I will review the details of the case; prove that the school, and discuss how the solution should be solved stepped on the rights of the students.
That decision is being revisited at the November 8 meeting of the current School Committee. Six of the seven who approved it in 2015 are still members. The mandate is being challenged by a high school senior who wants to make the project optional. He and another student spoke at a recent School Committee meeting where he shared that an online petition has garnered over 150 signatures. Reasons cited for changing the policy were anxiety, added pressure and time commitment to already busy schedules and
It is our hope that this correspondence finds you in pleasant circumstances. It is with great trepidation and frustration that the cohorts of the Dangriga Galen center have found the need to write this letter. After the end of our first year in the Galen Bachelor 's in Education program we find that there are circumstances and situations that have persisted to the disadvantage of the cohorts and have failed to be addressed by the administration of Galen and its staff. Galen recruited us under the guise of "excellence" and with every course we are reminded that it is "excellence" that is also demanded of us. It is with this in mind, that we hope to effectively articulate our concerns and find prompt resolution in order to ensure that we all draw closer to this "excellence". The following are the pressing and urgent matters that we feel must be addressed not only for the betterment of our center cohorts, but for all the cohorts that have entrusted Galen with their valuable time, hard earned money, and academic careers.
When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for a student to have a voice when deciding whether a given punishment is too cruel for the given action. The student, A student should be able to decide a fair punishment for the accusation. The accused student should appeal before a court to their fellow peers. Teachers should hear what the students have to say and not ignore our complaints.
Masconomet Regional School District is an amazing learning institution filled with passionate educators, supportive parents and engaged students. As a result, I have loved every day of being the Principal of Masconomet Regional High School.
Even after all of this mistreatments, we have explained how we felt towards our school policies and education. However, our grievances have been ignored. We have been open enough to follow school rules but these have to change. We can't keep on moving forward with ridiculous policies that should have a second choice or opinion. We are announcing that we will improve our schools with these new Grievances and make it work.
Assistant Superintendent Denise Bartlett provided a summary of the recommended revisions discussed during the first reading of the policy: 1. Restricting a student from wearing a religious or cultural accessory or hairpiece while participating in an extracurricular or athletic activity; 2. Academic eligibility, Grades 9-12, changing the specific letter grade for passing to the word passing; 3. Cumulative eligibility check, changing the time period for how long a student remains ineligible for two weeks at the semester; and, 4. Changes in the area of academic eligibility for Grades 6-8. Currently, the middle schools use a rubric scoring to determine grades. There is a need to change the passing grade from D to 2.0. There were no additional recommendations
Echeverria and I were at the School Board Retreat at the District Office. This year our Superintendent invited union leaders to attend the retreat as a symbol of collaboration and change in the district. It was during this board retreat that I learned that many of the district administration were unaware of the districts vision and mission. Ms. Echeverria and I discussed how the district goes about changing the Districts vision and mission statement. 2 years ago our District Motto change over night from “Every Student, Every Minute, Every Day" into “Believe in the Power of Education” the change rocked the districted and put people in a very precarious position. Ms. Echeverria stated that the motto only changes after the district vision and mission changes, which is outlined in Board
A change this drastic can only be called a revolution; a revolution of our perceptions of school. In order for this to happen it has to start from the top, the seniors, and more specifically, myself. I plan to take the first step in this revolution, hopefully inspiring those younger than me to follow.
The __________ School Board has recently proposed a bond levy to add new facilities as well as conduct some major repairs to the school. The bond includes building a new gymnasium, a new science room and lab, a new Media Center/Library, new Chapter 1 and Special Education classrooms, and other facilities such as more parking space, an increase in storage area, and new locker rooms. Along with new construction, the board is proposing to remodel facilities such as the drama/music areas, the entire roof, the heating system, the school kitchen, and present gym as well. This bond allowing __________ School to add more facilities should be passed in order for young students to be provided with a better education. Several arguments have been
This letter is being written in efforts to appeal the sanction on behalf of Kardaire Wright who is currently subject to our deepest concern. The incident that transpired between Mr. Wright and the victim Friday, November 10, 2017 was unacceptable and intolerable to the safety, expectation, values of Clarendon School District One. It is with immense regret and chagrin that Mr. Wright, who is a part of the Promise School program made such a poor decision to allow his anger, impulse, pride, and immaturity to get the best of him.
and the middle school staff desire to make well-informed decisions in the best interest of the children. However, the two parties have different ways of practical engagement. As a result. Mr. Grimko needs to communicate his vision and goals for the middle-grade school and enlist the teacher's assistance in achieving the objectives. It is imperative that Mr. Grimko address the staff of negotiable and non-negotiable work-related policies. The team needs to realize the consequences that are distinctively aligned with actions and
The school's sole appeal is that it is the "#1 traditional middle school in the state of Florida". Or, it was in my case. A lot of students got in automatically because they had attended Sunset Elementary, completely erasing the notion that it is a competitive school (to my knowledge this is no longer an issue, but it was when I was attending). The school, while it is #1, is only considered good because schools in Miami-Dade just generally suck. Students go to Carver believing it is an opportunity to learn more, from the best teachers the district has to offer. This is simply not the case, as, like every other school, is controlled by the district and is consequently focused on test-taking rather than learning. Again, like every other school.
