After 12 years in school BCCHS WITCH 12 Grade VP DENIED MY KID GOING TO THE PROM, GRADUATION…read moreCEREMONY AND GRAD NIGHT bcuz of excess absences from our severe car accident two mos prior. His heart was broken all summer long and beyond. BCCHS 2010 - 2015 My polite, shy child w mod Tourettes Syndrome w IEP Individual Education Plan all 4 yrs was basically dismissed emotionally and mentally by counselors, admins, some teachers re his 'IEP Learning Plan Accomodations' ie extra time for assignments, exams, extra individual attention for same etc all spelled out signed and agreed to by all teachers counselors vice principal psychologist special ed staff etc every single semester all four years at our IEP meetings. I attended every single mtg, every single semester. I'm a retired elementary teacher myself and am well aware of my Student w Disabilities' rights. They were denying these rights in actual practice on a day-to-day class-by-class basis. They crossed all their tees and dotted all their I s to get the money from the govt. $$$$$ Extra for STUDENTS W DISABILITIES paid. When I would inquire a various staff members including teachers counselors and vps over the four years I was given a run around and treated like I was intruding on, or asking too much of them. In 12th grade we had a horrific car accident in which we both were on doctor's orders recovering at home, for a week and a half. Although I had informed w doctors note w reason for extended absences, the female VP waited for revenge on my child and me, until a month before graduation. She crushed my sweet, kind and friendly teenager's hopes, spirit and heart, and my heart too. Btw I attended Birmingham's #1 rival Taft High School, in Woodland Hills, CA Class of 1980 when many of my friends attended Birmingham. Then both are high schools were envied, fantastic 10 /10 A+ schools. Our families lived in the area Tarzana Encino to attend these fantastic schools nowadays those same homes have their children in private schools because Birmingham especially is such a failure. Read the stats yourself. That's why charter schools are not necessarily a good thing and definitely not usually superior. Also, that's why the Billions Tax $$$$$ Department Of Education must be eliminated. I believe this vengeful abusive disgusting VP action was definitely racially motivated. Birmingham is now only 4% white, 86% Hispanic, the VP was Hispanic and we are white.

Coming from an outside perspective, anyone who knows me personally knows I admire teachers and abhor bureaucracy. Maybe I will catch some flack, who knows, however I do know that if it was not for one teacher or maybe two in my life believing in my potential when no others did, I would have been in a much different place today. What the general public fails to realize is that it's not the students that are failing, but the system is failing them since most of these kids families are failing them, too. The idyllic era most adults, boomers and older generation grew up in no longer exists today, perhaps because of the choices those generations made, who knows. Subject to debate. Without teachers with dedication and commitment, many of these students would be lost. Some teachers see gossipers, I see public relations candidates, others see taggers, I see drafters, designers and artists, some see cheaters on computer tests, I see software testers. Everyone wants to feel significant.
