JBMS has changed, and not for the better. I am a mother of Biracial kids, varying in age. I must say that I am both disappointed and disgusted at the administration's lack of understanding, the need for students to have teachers that look like them. It is imperative that students have teachers in which to connect. It's great to get proficient test scores. Do you know what's better? Helping to develop positive, contributing members of our society by understanding the journey of the students who are not just white and upper middle class. Shame on you.
