what ticks me off.

The Minneapolis public school board is what makes me upset. The reason why they upset me is because they make Minneapolis schools look worse than they really are. They are always taking, taking, taking, but they dont ever want to give. They think that the stuff that they take like, food, money, teachers and a lot of other things, is helping the students, but in reality it's just making high school tougher. They also make me upset because they dont live up to their word. I have sat with the board members numerous times and they offered many things that they were going to contribute but i haven't seen any positive changes since.

The MPSB has taken away a lot and one of the most things i that they have tried to take away is our teachers. Ever few years teachers have to renew their contracts and this year MPSB decided that they wanted to take important things from our teachers. I dont know all the facts but i do know they too away seniority. Meaning that even if you have been teaching for a while you still can be pinked sliped. They also took away benifits when teachers salery dont even stay up with inflation. Now with things like this, some teachers are thinking about quiting. Teachers that have build relationships with students.
