School staff unprofessional doesn’t treat students or parents with respect doesn’t care about kid’s education just working for the money not the enjoyment of the job

I attended this school from 1969 to 1975 and the teachers at this school shaped me into being the person that I am today through their words of inspiration and their dedication and love of teaching.

I'm a parent. My daughter is in the the third grade. This school is getting better. They have afterschool programs for the kids. The principal Dr. Coleman is gobe. We have a new principal Ms. Lawrence. She seems nice and trying to fix Dr. Coleman mess. As for the teachers they are pretty good. Hopefully the school test scores will go up and yhe students will do better.

The school has wonderful teachers who do their best, but without the support from the principle they are very limited with what they are able to do. I've heard teachers talk with great enthusiasm at the beginning of the school year and finish with disappointment. I am grateful that my kids had the privilege of being thought by them. It's unfortunate so many of the teachers are leaving. Mr Coleman needs to and has to go..... and let someone with vision and support for our kids to take over. Why does our kids have to fail before someone intervenes? Parents involvement (PTA) very poor, he likes it that ways, because lack of information means lack of knowledge. Lets see if takes an "F" to get him out.

My child is a senior in this school and I cannot wait for her to leave this God forsaken school. We find the staff to be uncaring and heartless human being. Their very unprofessional. My child was assaulted by near by school immediately after dismissal and no staff member not the principle or security members called to inform me of my child's injuries. Upon inquiry of the event I was informed by the assistant principle that no incident report was made and he himself was unaware of the incident, that injured my child and some of the schools safety officers. This school needs a deep investigation of their daily operation of their students..

This school is a hot, ghetto mess from the top to the bottom. If the principal were more concerned with the PROPER running of the school instead of which suit he's going to wear, the students wouldn't behave like mindless hooligans. You've got to do better, Coleman. P.S. 181 is a failure because of YOU!
