We have the best administrator in herethe city who have turn our school around we have made AYP every year since she has been in charge here at Myers Middle School and our children are learning


Posted August 15, 2005

Today was the first day of the second year for my daughter in this school. It has been for us a horrifing experience, though most of the public schools in this county are bad. I was told to F---- off today twice before even entering the school. My daughter was threatened with alot of violence last year where I had to be contacted by the police. She had a teacher that was telling the girls that they were fat, ugly, had bad hair and that he was going to teach them how to be true black, my daughter is not black. They are below standards for math, reading, social studies in my opion they have learned nothing about history, other than who Martin Luther King Jr is.
