For a month last year my son was uncomfortable going to the school due to the manner he spoke to him. Mr Finn does not know how to speak to people but instead will talk at you. On countless occasions he was made my mother feel small. When I wrote an email to address my concerns to the superintendent Mr Dan his only reply was "Oh I didn't think you wanted a response." I really do think the school is a good school which is why my child is still attending but there is no accountability for any of the staff. Unless you want to argue with admin please don't send your kids here.

So you do wanna go to the Mall after all?…read more Fine, let's go to the Mallden. This is a sleepy little suburb in the north part of Boston which doesn't have too much going on but a couple of cool bubble tea shops in the nice little Center area, and it's a little bit removed from the beach Town Beauty but also the good luck of the western suburbs like Cambridge and Allston. This is a quiet and cool little area to the North of Boston which is not far from Summerville and not far from Revere and a little bit further away from Cambridge and Austin and all of that stuff. So it's kind of hard to get to. But if you do come up here there are a few cool restaurants, and some nice bubble tea shops, and I definitely enjoyed myself up here and met some nice people. And if you're not female... you're Male den.

I love my city, born and raised and trying very hard to own and operate a business in this city has…read morebecome in a word, difficult. Parking is a big problem in this city, too many high rises, too many illegal tenants / rooming houses. I know they try hard, but $25 and $50 parking tickets are given out like candy. They have destroyed small businesses in the smaller squares of the city and forced people to go elsewhere. Maplewood square is vicious, there's plenty of places to get your hair done, buy local meats, bank and have a drink if you want. They have however started to put up 15 minute parking spots, this helps one and only one business and I wont mention who that is. Growing up in this area, this square use to have 2 of everything, 2 banks, Maplewood Savings and Malden Trust, 2 drug stores, Aucella and Maplewood (both gone), 2 dry cleaners, 2 convenience stores Essex farms and Sunnyhurst, 2 Lawyers, 2 insurance agencies, you get the gist, it was the square of 2's now it's just a bunch of vacant stores, and the ones that have survived and the patrons who go there are paying the price, that price by the way is $25 to $50 parking tickets. I gave up and sadly a few others are about to. I don't mind parking tickets, as long as they are evenly distributing them throughout the city, but $25 is a lot of money and $50 can be the difference between someone being able to afford groceries for their family. I'm not sure what the solution is, but this is certainly a problem. So be careful where you shop, pay attention to the signs that seem to be changing week to week and know that there are ticket givers, that favor certain store owners. These are facts, if you don't believe me, feel free to inbox me.

I worked as an Associate Teacher at the Pioneer Middle School and at first it was ok. I liked…read moreworking with the kids and enjoyed working with the other teachers. What I didn't like was the management, they are demeaning and not very helpful. There were four middle school associates and only two of them worked hard. Guess what, the two that didn't work hard got promotions, how does that make any sense. I taught my own class, subbed other classes on my off period, had lunch, bus and after school duty as well. The other associates were managements favorite and they did nothing. I am a firm believer that if you work hard you deserve the promotion, not the other way around. Overall, this school system is terrible. I highly suggest that you don't work or bring your children there.

Now if you had gone to Chelsea High School like I did, you'd definitely think that the architects…read moreof the school are some of the biggest morons ever. This is a new school, completed in 1996. The design- there are two towers, designated a red tower and a green tower, and each is four-stories high. In between is a "connector" that joins the two tower together, and this is only two stories high. That means that if your next class is on the 4th floor of the green tower and you're on the 4th floor of the red tower, you'd have to go down to the second floor, go through the connector, then up the stairs to the green tower in 5-mins time frame. (I don't know if I was cursed or what but I have classes like that all four years.) Now with a student population of around 1500, there sure is heavy traffic at all times. Who are these architects kidding?? Do they live in Boston??!! Only after I'd graduated that they have an addition to the side and also repartitioning the existing building, which would help to accomodate the general flow of traffic and the student population more. Aside from that, I've met a great few influential teachers here, and no doubt, some bitchy ones too.
