8th Ave
Scranton, PA

I’m tired of watching other kids play while mine sits game after game. New players who show up and put in the work are ignored, while the same few never leave the court. This isn’t development—it’s exclusion. Coaches should do better, and the school should be embarrassed to allow this to continue.

I am currently an 8th grade student at West Scranton Intermediate, and though my time there is coming to an end, I have to say, I will not miss it. The Principle and Vice Principle have no clue as to what really goes on at West Intermediate. Many students are bullied. Many teachers bully students. I'm in the Phi House part of the school, and the teachers are the worst I have ever had as a student. Most of them are difficult to work with and overall aren't good at what they do. I'm having a very difficult time this year with the teachers. They judge students and ridicule them. They very quick to act and do not take time to assess a situation. I've been very disappointed with my time at West Intermediate, I would recommend not sending your child there, to a parent. They will struggle with both teachers and students. It will be a difficult three years and I'm glad mine is coming to an end.
