1i come home crying every day because of the 5th grade ela teacher please fire her!!!!

As a current student at Belleville high school, I am in my senior year. I have been here for three years now. I would not recommend this school to anybody. I would not even send my future kids to the school. This school is absolutely all out of the place it has no sort of control whatsoever for example, I have Spanish and the teacher in my classroom does not speak Spanish. We do not have a teacher in that classroom who is actively teaching us Spanish but then they expect us to learn it on our own and they tell us look it up on Google as if I can sit there and use Google on my test and I’m a type of student who I need someone to actively teach me. I cannot actively teach myself, especially when it comes to certain subjects. I have different learning styles when it comes to different subjects, and they do not cater to those things. When I try to communicate with administration they act as if I’m speaking Spanish, and I know I’m not speaking Spanish, because if I was, I would not be failing that class right now. They fail to properly communicate with anyone in general. They are so backwards when it comes to everything they pick out the littlest of things. But the football players get caught vaping in the bathroom, get detentions, etc but somehow they get out of every single little thing but let me be in the bathroom vaping or let me sit there and not come to a detention. I’m gonna get suspended and everything but I bet you if I was a football player on the team that would never happen to me. The security guards at the school is absolutely messy like for example if I sit there and I tell the security guard about somebody, they will sit there and go and tell that person exactly what I said and that I said it. This is exactly why I do not go to administration or anybody in the school about anything that I have a problem with because they fail to protect me in the situations. I do not feel safe when i’m at this school. They are not considerate of the fact that people have lives outside of school. I have stuff to do after school such as drivers training, work, watch my siblings, sports and stuff like that, I don’t have the time to go to every single one of these detentions that they give for the smallest of things. Do not send this your child to this school unless you were trying to set them up for failure.

My children were forced into this school as a result of redistricting 2 years ago. I cannot under stand why the school(Haggerty) with that was performing better was closed and this school was allowed to stay open. There was nothing special about this school (programs). There was no since of family and it was almost spring before I figured out who the principal was. Whereas, there was no doubt about who ran my kids previous school. We have lived in Van Buren for 10 years now and I have watched the school ratings on this website fall substantially it's really sad and I think its time for new leadership. I gave the school 2 stars because it was clean and the two teachers my kids had were very nice and caring.

This school gives an email address to every student and has control of the email address. However, if your child is hacked or someone uses their email address without authorization, the school will do nothing to protect your child’s intellectual property.
