I was so confused because I expected the other principle who was arrested for having drugs in his car. The point here is Flushing Highschool could possibly be the worst highschool in history. The moment you stepped in the schools block you knew it was dangerous. The inside of the school was like the 80s crack epidemic. It was overcrowded too, there was graffiti in alot of places, things were broken including the lives of many students who attended this school. I got to see alot of violence during those years. There were atleast 2 or 3 fights a day,stabbings happened outside the school, some kids carried weapons of all kinds, everyday robberies happened. Prostitution was real aswell as teenagers aborting their unwanted babies. Drug dealers and gangs were everywhere and everyday the teacher would verbally fight with its own troublemaker students who cursed at the teacher, faught with other kids, and simply became a threat to everyone. Throughout those 4 years I decided to stay because I didnt care about school and was even planning on dropping out but rather ended up graduating. I witnessed alot of thug students come and go some of them had gang affiliations and they lost alot of friends to gang violence. Alot of people tend to say "Its the students, not the school." Well its actually the students, the teachers, and the parents and most of them didnt cared about education. Alot of these incidents outside school happened without adults at flushing highschool knowing the crazier lives their students lived. Everybody knew it was a bad school and only a handful graduated. It was a violent and loud school but I still managed to survive. There should be more coverage on Flushing Highschool like documentaries or videos about the school.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-42225204957172134142012-12-20T21:26:29.749-05:002012-12-20T21:26:29.749-05:00Chaz,This is the forever-ending story, I taught wi...Chaz,This is the forever-ending story, I taught with you at Jamaica H.S. Under mayor Frankenburg every large high school is a target, Send every low achieving student to the school he wants closed, and it will close. Sooner, then later he will run out of schools. Then what? A total failure for school children in New York City. 60 minutes needs to take a look at this farse. Give them a call Chaz, you have the proof.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-22372256678058294702012-12-20T19:27:10.477-05:002012-12-20T19:27:10.477-05:00chaz:

There is no morale and we lost many of our top students during the turnaround fiasco.<br /><br />The Principal tried to bring a new tone to the school but has given up and the students fear little from the Administration. I hope I get as lucky as you apparently did and get a school that cares about their staff and has a student body that actually wants to succeed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-23030448700457627192012-12-19T19:15:01.636-05:002012-12-19T19:15:01.636-05:00I was assigned there last month and it was a horri...I was assigned there last month and it was a horrible experience. The school lacks discipline, with students yelling in the halls during class and teachers struggling to control students in their classrooms.<br /><br />I actually felt sorry for the teachers who remain there as I went on my way to the next school.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-22856092199465145082012-12-19T18:28:07.830-05:002012-12-19T18:28:07.830-05:00Wow, sounds like how things were in my former scho...Wow, sounds like how things were in my former school, Samuel Gompers in the South Bronx. It seemed as if the staff were being scrutinized and micro - managed to death. They also had a Holiday party but got upset that only a handful of staff wanted to go. I really could not imagine pretending to make merry with so many vile administrators. At the end term party they all sat at one table and watched with disdain the staff dancing,and I believe counting how often someone went to the buffet or bar. I am now an ATR now and although I would rather have a permanent school to work in, I am so glad that I am no longer in that depressing house of horrors anymore. Funny, that as I travel to different schools from week to week that I see so many of my former students. I am so happy that they got out and might actually have a chance to be educated somewhere else. The school is currenly in year one of a three year phase out downsized and sandwiched between a new Charter and a new Transfer school.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-78806698967209345992012-12-18T20:33:20.210-05:002012-12-18T20:33:20.210-05:00Chaz,

I get knots in my stomach when I wake up in the morning. They don't motivate anyone. It has become intolerable to work under these conditions. To put the icing on the cake, the people paid to represent us, go against us!.Another PO'd Teachernoreply@blogger.com
