I bet they are SO glad to get away from Brookhaven.........
If the transferring kids get the same or worse academic scores at a new school, tehn the problem is not the school.
rather than having the tours of schools on opposite sides of town back to back the wise step would have been to have one tour one day and the other tour the next day.
Sigh.
Carolyn - this is not a mass involuntary transfer of students, the key word is choice.
The real risk is that the higher performing students will transfer and the school will decline further.
"Sigh" is right.
I attended Brookhaven 35 years ago and it sucked then, basically just babysat you for 3 years and sent you to Austin, I don't think I learned one thing the three years I was there. I remember all the teachers well and looking back they just mailed it in and went home each day.It's no wonder so many are on welfare, instead of graduating as a marketable person ready for the workforce you get a bunch of dope smoking lazy thugs who don't have enough since to pull up their pants. America is sadly well into decline.
