PS 43 School
I work at 43. Teachers are dedicated and hard working with little thanks from the administration!
It's frustrating that each year different initiatives are started and not carried through. There needs to be more consequences for children that act out.
It has become acceptable in this school for cursing, fighting between students, and total disrespect for teachers and classmates. The administration is quick enough to reprimand my fellow teachers.............what about the students???????????????????
