I would say the school is not amazing a few teachers are to blame…. I will admit that yes we don’t have the best students, but a packet is, not teaching. The school has an amazing FFF, and other CTE programs. Another issue is we don’t have enough engaging electives, we should have things like criminal justice, business management, and other CTE electives. As well as we need better teachers in programs like FCCLA…. i understand the limitations that the 178 adds to that, but we can’t let that hurt education.

My child just started at Wallace middle school this year. So far has made honor roll and principals list for all A’s. Following this he was cut from a basketball team while multiple students under a 2.0 were allowed on the team. When I mentioned it to the coaches and athletic director it was claimed that they are the best players though. Following this my son was playing basketball when a kid turned and hit him in the nose he then tried to hit the kid back and a teacher had stopped him. Even though he did not hit the kid he received the same in school suspension. I did not feel this was the correct actions so I had my son work with me for the suspension days. When he went back the vice principal pulled my son aside in P.E. and began to scold him for missing those days instead of calling and asking me. The teachers principals and coaches are great examples on how to be a bully and do whatever you want to do because you can.
