5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMath teacher can’t speak proper English! Can’t teach my child correctly and has all student’s failing their classes! Student behavior is out of control and they practice NO proper safety precautions! Most teachers are great but ALL educators should hold themselves to a higher standard to show students how to become great successful adults! Mostly they just lack discipline and order!Parent Review5y ago - Fairfield Central High School
