Recently, Chagrin Falls has become the Detroit, Michigan of the educational system! But this review is strictly in regards to the administrative staff and the idiots who do the teacher evaluations ( the 5 stars are for the teachers only)...where to begin??
Did you no that any teacher (regardless of how good or bad they are at their job) who has been teaching for over ten years was fired and or forced to resign this year! This includes Kenn Hetzel, Dave Buckle, David King & many more. This alone is beyond frustrating for a number of reasons. One, this is just poor management on the administrative behalf- you fired these amazing teachers just so you can make your paychecks fatter (shame on you!), you replaced one of the art teachers with a little girl (Elizabeth Harold a.k.a "Lizzy") who hasn't even graduated college yet! To top that off she is a convicted felon (which is against the law, she cried wolf while attending a local college) & she has wasted thousands of taxpayers dollars by throwing out the kiln, all the equipment to make clay,etc.. because she's buying it pre- made which is 10xs more expensive! She said she doesn't feel like teaching ceramics this year which is in the schools curriculum- so all the students who already signed up for ceramics are screwed!
When I attended Crestwood High School, Pearl Austin, did the same thing and it only hurts the children's (and staff) education in the long run...when you hire fresh graduates who have no experience teaching to take over a position that was held by a dedicated teacher(s) for over 10 yrs who has more than enough experience...I think you get the pic. read more
