Parkview Elementary School

I have subbed there, and found the atmosphere pretty noisy and chaotic. I felt like the kids were pretty inconsiderate to each other, and needed closer hall supervision by adults when kids in halls at lockers. When I subbed there I had a couple of kids with serious issues in class who were extremely defiant and disruptive, but the social worker and principal were both gone that day, and these kids seemed to know it. Teachers would take the disruptive child into their class for me for awhile, but when they returned it was the same. In some classes, it could be a hard place for a sub, as kids usually act worse for subs. I am a veteran sub and yet I struggled there in most of the classes I was assigned to. That can make it hard to get repeat subs. There were some great kids, though, who were a delight, and also did everything they were supposed to.
