Imagine a place where no one gets along with each other because everyone’s goal is to be better than the next person. Imagine a work environment in which only favors those who excel in sports and like to get high on Friday nights. Imagine a place where there are very, very few people who will listen to you. Imagine Peters Township Middle School. This is 2-year torture block is one of the most mismanaged, utterly disgraceful public schools I have ever stepped foot in.
The teachers fall into 2 categories - The “I want to be a middle school student again” category, in which the teachers don’t teach and instead spend class time talking about the stupid cheer and danceathon and play favorites on students who are on the path to suspension (just because those kids fit into the “popular, partying, jock” crowd”) and the “I wanna get out of this place” category, in which the teachers teach with even less personality and effectivity, don’t help anyone who asks for it, and tells kids that get 70%’s on their tests, “At least you got a passing grade.” There are few exceptions to this.
