What school district is South 17th Street School part of?
Principal once said it's only Newark so the teacher had all right to talk to student in a RUDE manner. My suggestion, teachers without passion and concern should always try to find jobs where they live.
A small amount of parents complains, and so it is to my understanding that if the situation only affects a small number of concern parents that it will not be looked into.
A lot needs to be addressed at this school. Some great administrators and teachers are still there. However, there are some that are disrespectful to students and parents. Yea I mean they need to find another profession.
