Default Re: Worst Place to Work in the Metro

I taught at Monroney Jr. High for 11 years, and I enjoyed most of those years. The problem I had with the district is the sense that Carl Albert was the flag ship school and that they would get taken care of first in all matters.
I felt that the building administration was weak in dealing with discipline issues, and that many teachers did not get the backing from them as they should have. Some principles should not have been hired and the district would not admit the mistake and allowed the school to pay the price. Kerr Jr. high used to be a top school along with Monroney and Carl Albert. Jarman and Del Crest are good schools with poor administration in the past.
I also had a problem with some teachers being able to hand pick most if not all of their classes. It seemed as if they were the preferred teachers and if you were not on that list you got the lower students and trouble makers.
I have been out of the district for 4 years now and I truely hope that things have changed since then.
