PS 89 Williamsbridge School
To who it may concern,
I do understand that when handling kids in school its not a easy job to do. When we take a job that we have to deal with the public we should be able to expect the unexpected. When your a teacher there are some kids hard to handle. Thats the reason why some teachers are unable to handle the job. This certain teacher needs to be more professional at her job, she should not talk to students about other students and talk about how they dress. She gets the kids so mad that they break down and start crying or at the point they cant stay in the room much longer. She makes up stories and gets in the students faces. She has no respect at all for the students. She tells the kids if they have something to say they can say it to her face. Her behavior is not the way a teacher should be acting, she needs to be sent to a behavior traning program. This teacher needs to be investigated. Some kids dont even want to go to school just to avoid her class. Please someone needs to look into this matter.
