(cont from reply to philabarbie) record of lower than 95 percent are pretty much persecuted. she ignores anything that makes her look bad, like unfair treatment of students due to violation of IEP. in fact, Social Services has about 20 cases from bxsci alone THIS YEAR- one for a kid with 8 absences. she's totally impossible and i think she's bad for the school. noone likes her, really. she's the schools dark spot, because aside from her, bxsci is the most amazing place.

I had Reidy back when she was teaching the "westinghouse", now intel sts class along with Lee. BS always did really well in these contests but I can tell you that Reidy did little to no work. She just sat on her butt and asked us obvious questions and the students did all the work. It's pretty sad to hear that she used the achievements of all the students who did all the work to rack up results doing research and writing papers to leverage herself into a principle position.

@stevengood12 english & algebra

[stevengood12]

well what was the test about

[zartita]

idk if i failed the test, but my score wasnt high enough to reach their standards. But i guess u can say that

[stevengood12]

did you fail the test

[calliesaiyan]

1. her policies are completely unfair

2. she fires un-tenured teachers at the drop of a hat

3. despite our low budget, she still hosts many more Breakfasts With The Principal than is warranted

4. She's a quack who goes around parading her HONORARY doctorate and pretending she knows what she's doing

5- and most people don't know this one, this isn't why we protested, but its 1 of my reasons for disliking her- in the interest of keeping BxSci high up in the ratings, students with an attendance

[earlpwns8]

can u tell me what the reasons were? I have a very good chance of getting into bronx science but i want to no whats going on
