I am a student at dhalstrom middle school and I'm in 8th grade. i believe that although dr. thurmans policies are strict they are in the best interest of this school. i am a football player and compete in many other sports. as for the previous comment downsizing my school, i believe that our school is not bully free and some students are racist at times they are just retaliating from other problems. some parents think that social classes exist in school but nobodies perfect every child gets bullied. especially the popular ones. The teachers are great and overall the students are outgoing and warm to new and shunned students. please don't let a few bad reviews spoil your view of my amazing school. GO MUSTANGS oh and HIT BY A BUS for my fellow 8th graders;)
Hi I'm student at dahlstom middle school, i really like the school it makes me feel welcome. They have so much to offer as well. I love the pricipal and the vice prinipal as well. I really love this school, I've never had any bulling of any sort and never heard of someone getting bullied also. Go mustangs! :D
hated it, very racist students who d not have any respect for themselves, teachers, or the school facilities. teachers do try but students make it impossible many times reports of substitutes calling children names and very cruel ones. students take pride in public vandalism and other approve of it. very predigest . i am sorry that some people try to make it a good school while most students cannot control themselves. i am a former student. glad to have moved.
The new principal is not right for this school. She is taking policies to the extreme and the children are paying the cost. Take a recent incident between two children. The one child was bullying the other child. This child told a teacher who told him to "work it out". When the child being bullied attempted to work it out, the bully pushed him against a wall and swung at him. The other child pushed back, to get around the bullying child and ran to the bus. Yes, the bully was sent to the local Impact center, but she also elected to punish the other child. He got 30 days in the Impact as well. We are talking about a smart, sweet honor student, with no behavioral problems. She told the parents that it was MANDATORY DISTRICT POLICY...it is not. Fighting is a punishable offense, but the punishment is discresinary...in other words, the decision was hers. Is this how we want District Policy enforced? Wake up parents and read your Handbooks... she can punish your child for even the smallest infraction... Go back to Houston!!
