PS 137 Rachael Jean Mitchell School
Tshura Williams: I don't agree with the informayion found on this site. I know for a fact that they're more than 12 kids to a class or teacher.It's more 20 odd kids in a class.Since they integrated the upper levels, the kids are more disruptive,rude and out or control.The younger kids are hearing and seeing rude behaviors such as: girls sitting on boys laps, kissing and groping in stairways, girls in tight fitting clothing, boys with sagging pants, and cursing.Some of the staff are more interested in their own agends than the education of the kids.The level and content of the homework is unacceptable.The classwork is unsatisfactory.As a concern parent, I would take time to speak on these matters to my kid's teacher and nothing changes.One sheet of homework, whether it's math or english. There's never any other homework in other studies.They grade kids on classes that they don't even get.Teachers that yell and others that ignore kids.They are a few faculty memebers that are outstanding.I don't think that there's any thing good with this school other than it's location to my house.
