| I agree. The most disliked teachers are the ones that are making a difference. I will have to disagree with one of the teachers on your list. Mr. Richardson. He's one that is more wanting to be more popular than teaching. His wife is the worst one of all in Seaford (in every aspect). But another year has past. Another year to come.

they are. all the ones that were not liked are the ones that do/did the job. mr. cannon was one of those. my girls didnt like him but he got the job done. there are several others still there now not liked but are effective. go back to my original list from many posts back.

back to the topic at hand. lots of unresolved items and issues from another teacher doing it with students to poor management of students again for an entire year. it always stays the same at shs. and mr Davis has the gall to speak proudly at graduation about the high school and the seniors taking risks. heck yeah they took risks, risks they SHOULD NOT HAVE TO TAKE PERIOD! get your head out of your ass!

| That's right. Why worry about German classes when there are not enough other classes to take. And yes another year that certain teachers get away with things. The day will come that Seaford will really see why type of teachers they are dealing with. They don't care about teaching they are more worried about being the "popular" teacher and the teacher everyone thinks is pretty. Well going to school is more about wondering how pretty your teacher is. Well one day kids will actually learn something at school, something that will be with them through life.

| Well I'm anxious to see. I hope they leave. If you are speaking of who I am talking about, I know for a fact that person keeps close ties with past students and present. I know from personal experience. That is one of the reasons my children will NOT attend Seaford High School. That's where I graduated from but boy have things changed. I am not happy the way things have good. But thanks for your tip, I will keep a look out at the board minutes.

| Is it a teacher at the High School? I know of one that I have questioned in the past because they have kept close relationships ofter the student graduates. I don't think it is appropriate.

| the state budget crisis is hitting the schools hard. many teachers may be cut because of it. this is ridiculous, cut some fat or salaries at the adminsitrative level! you'll save enough money that way. our schools are already hurting they do not need to hurt more.

just so i dont sound like a lone nut, heres something i found while visiting the district web page today that says it all
Student Behavior
The students were generally critical of the behavior of some students – in particular at the lower grade levels – as well as being critical of the inadequacy of the consequences given to misbehaving students. Dr. Knorr noted that, unfortunately, schools have limited consequences they can give to misbehaving students. The consequences include detentions, suspensions, in some cases placement in the alternative school, and expulsions. For some students, these consequences do not result in a change of behavior, and the students continue to misbehave. One of the students said that for some students, sending them out of school was like putting them on a vacation and when they returned,
SUPERINTENDENT’S STUDENT ADVISORY COUNCIL MINUTES 23 January 2008 Page 3
they still misbehaved. The student noted that in conversations the student has had with students in other schools, Seaford is getting a bad reputation. Dr. Knorr noted that the Seaford School District (like Woodbridge, Laurel, etc.) has to take all students of residence whereas Sussex Tech, for example, can be selective in their admissions procedures. In some cases, these admissions procedures result in the non-acceptance of students who are failing, who do not do well on the DSTP, who are behavior problems, etc. Where do such students go? They go to the school of residence. There also was a brief discussion about the supervision of teachers at Seaford Senior High School. Dr. Knorr will pursue that discussion with the administrators in question.

| oh that's not how the kids feel. i heard from another parent a few blasted their anger about teachers to dr knorr at a meeting not too long ago. stuff brought up included teachers not teaching and discipline and bad kids being an issue. why am I not surprised? they make that letter from last fall seem correct. at least I know they are not talking about the wonderful teachers on my list!

| ...alas, more proof why the administrative leadership in our schools(not all, but many)are ineffective. One of their primary duties should be the continual involvement and motivation of the teachers and staff. Yes, the teachers and staff need to be primarily self-motivated. However, everybody needs to be managed and motivated - some a little and some a lot. As far as parents giving positve feedback, it's a trickle-down effect started at the top within the schools/dist.office. The elitist attitude develops the divide that currently exists between those at the very top and those at the very bottom. The result is those in the middle get short-changed when it comes to the necessary motivation to move them up just a notch.

| I would like to think that all teachers are doing their best and are keeping the students as their top priority. My concern is that the people who are not in the classroom are making important decisions. They need to spend a day IN the classroom so they understand what is needed to provide the best education for our diverse population. Last edited on Thu Jan 31st, 2008 04:01 am by beach bum

thank you to mrs peggy smith, mrs cindy borga, mr rob perciful, mr tim lee, mr tom chapman, mr jason jeandell, mr jonathon griffith, mrs jo johnson, mrs cindy bayon, mrs dara laws, mrs lori wheatley, mr steve richardson, mr ken cummings, mrs lynne banning, coach phil burtelle, coach bob hastings

| I think it would appropriate for the SSD to give us SPECIFICS on where this "saved" money will be spent. After all, isn't that a "reallocation of funds" ie. our tax dollars? We should know EXACTLY where that money is moved to on the district's written budget.

once again the SSD gets lauded for conserving energy while freezing the kids in winter. whooptie doo! so where does all that saved $$$ go hmmm? I would love to know! specially since their never seems to be any.
Ha bet you all thought I would talk about the bomb threat. why talk about things that are not a surprise. typical! its been awhile though so that was nice. we had too many of those years ago when my kids were still in. it was a pain.

| Dr. Knorr doesn't make the decision on fog delays, that would be the transportation director, and that's a job I wouldn't want. Someone will always be unhappy with the decision.

| You are speaking of Knorr, the one who makes your child ride a bus to school in pea thick soup fog. Guess it will take a bad accident like the one in Maryland years ago to wake somebody up about safety. Unfornately your child may be the one not coming home due to pea soup.

Well Sparkparent Blades Elementary and any other elementary school is the district certainly deserve a flyover. they know how to teach and deal with the kids and do an awesome job. i cant say that for the secondary schools of late! stuff like this is not deserved of an ENTIRE school body.
heck most of those kids i hear complain about it being cold in the classroom why take them outside?
