Ok. Mrs. Schoeneberg is a great teacher. She has unfortunately had to help several student's from Kubena's class with their work, because Kubena wouldn't help them. I've talked to the principal about the problem, and nothing was done. I've talked to the teacher, and nothing was done. When you have parent's complaining, student's complaining, and other teachers in the same school complaining, and yet nothing is done about it...that says something about the school. My child has never had a failing grade in all the school years, until now. I'm not saying all of the teacher's are like this...but when they even know about the situation and don't speak up about it and let it happen, it's just wrong. And the kids are the one's paying for it. It's the kids having to seek elsewhere for help. It's the kids making this school a recognized school.

Mrs. Kubena may not be the best math teacher to have but the other math teacher Mrs. Schoeneberg is. I've had her for 3 of my 4 years of school and have made commended performance on all math TAKS. There is a reason why we are a recognized school unlike El Campo and Wharton.

Mrs. Kubena is a bad lady and needs to be fired!!! She doesnt help the kids with anything and yells at them if they ask for help.
