Okay so I was a student at this school, I’m now in 7th grade but at the time I was in 5th. I want to give my opinion considering this school was one of the WORST schools I’ve been to. And I’ve traveled to lots of schools.Okay so I was assigned to the teacher Frankie Jackson. She was ruthless to 5th graders, and made them scared to even answer her in class.She was to strict and didn’t even feel like a teacher, she felt like a boss but a rude one. She was never your friend and she told us that. She was rude to kids that (to my assumption) had ADHD undiagnosed. She never tried to help them really, and if she did know they were diagnosed(which idk if she did) she still didn’t treat them well. It seemed she didn’t understand that they needed a little more help than the other kids.She would snap at the smallest of mistakes and would call students mistakes out in front of the class. She has I think made students cry before to. She once made a boy( who I’m pretty sure had ADHD) go without a chair because he was talking. Which she could have resolved without that type of treatment. She made me want to not go to school in fear of her. I was so horrified of her that I basically went mute in the classroom when she was around. She scared kids so much that they wouldn’t even answer her in class because of fear. She. Instantly told us we were the worst class, that we were terrible. Which I will admit we could be loud, BUT that was because we felt free when she was out of the room. She never treated us like kids, she treated us like adults. I feel like she failed at realizing that we were young and didn’t know everything. We were bound to make mistakes. She put on a whole different version of herself in front of parents. Which is horrifying as well.If you don’t believe me or don’t like me talking about her like this that’s fine. I can’t force you to believe me or like the way I talk about her. But if you were in her class in fifth grade in 2020( I think that’s the right year) and had bad experiences please speak out. Because I know how you feel and I want you to let others know. She was the reason I’m scared to go back to school. And why my anxiety is through the roof now. We were so heavily yelled a lot. And even though it was almost two years ago, this experience still horrifies me. Its probably why yelling scares me. I believe there is more, but I can’t remember much. I would put more but ran out of characters.

Lingle has a lot of work to do with building a social/emotional learning environment that supports all students in a way that helps achieve.

This school is the reason why I got my GED early, about 3 years ago now. The reason? The principal thought it necessary to give me a month long ISS for possibly the dumbest reason known to man. I didn’t attend my “Eagle periods” because I thought it very unnecessary and a waste of my time. They didn’t allow us to finish work from other classes, and also forbade doing any homework. The whole point was to just listen to your teachers lecture you about quite literally nothing. I had skipped Eagle period about 5 times and by the way this wasn’t even a main course class, therefore attendance shouldn’t have been required. But anyways the principal thought it was very serious and punished me harshly for it. As soon as I got ISS however, I walked out the school door and never came back and got my GED that following week and ever since then my life had gotten so much better. I’m now a business owner for a theater and I’m making way more than the principal is now. So thank you for teaching me how to be resourceful and make my life more successful than yours! I forgot his name and I don’t think that principal works there anymore but honestly good riddance.
