White Chalk Crime Whitewashes What is Going On

NEW YORK TEACHER TEACHES THE PUBLIC

I was recently employed and unemployed by the Amityville School District. I paid out of my pocket close to a thousand dollars plus received donations for my classroom supplies. All I had were tables and stools, all of which were missing nuts and bolts as well as other hazardous conditions. I was resented by certain entities for supplying my classroom with excellent materials and beautifying the room and then bullied into resigning. The Amityville Administration also interfered with my getting a job with Wyandanch. The NY State Labor Department found in my favor. I am now unemployed collecting benefits.
The purpose of this letter is to tell you this is one malignant school district. I have children and you could not pay me to send my children to the Edmund Miles Middle School where I worked 2002 - 2003. The environment is not fit for children. The culture is sick and twisted and serves as a detrimental role model for the children. Hall monitors evaluate and belittle nontenured teachers. They make complaints to the arrogant and bully happy principal who has to appease the bully happy superintendent.
These children are at severe risk by a school board and administration that have no emotional intelligence and care not for the mental and emotional well being of children. The children must be nurtured emotionally and mentally and nutritionally. Then the learning can take place thus higher test scores. NOBODY UNDERSTANDS THIS! THESE CHILDREN ARE SUFFERING AT THE HANDS OF SELF SERVING INDIVIDUALS PARADING AROUND AS EDUCATORS.
Also, the teachers who live in the district, their children are the ones receiving goodies like AP classes and scholarships not to mention the overinflated recommendations for college. Meanwhile other children cannot even read and write and are pushed through.
The Amityville UFSD needs many watchdogs for many unethical and immoral goings on. Especially the taxpayers’ money. Send people to walk through Edmund Miles Middle School at any given time without warning and inspect the furniture and supplies. Go into the 1965 bathrooms with 1965 fixtures that are disgusting to say the least. Listen to the way Dr. DeSorbe speaks to his subordinates and check out the hall monitors. Maybe they cleaned up some since I was there.
In conclusion; watch them, and watch them, and watch them. Never turn your back especially on the money. Help the children, save the children,
