Students are losing in CHHS teacher debacle
TO THE EDITOR:
Thanks to The Daily Tar Heel for the article about the problems at Chapel Hill High School.
Not only are teachers unhappy, but many students and parents are very displeased by the school administration’s actions and lack of support given to class scheduling and supplies.
Some students have arrived to class to find no permanent teacher has been assigned to teach the class. My granddaughter has two core classes being led by substitute teachers until permanent teachers can be assigned. Other students are finding classes in which textbooks are unavailable.
This haphazard beginning to the school year is a burden to students and is unacceptable. Many people move to the area because of this school system’s reputation for excellence, and they understand that they will pay the Special School Tax in addition to their property taxes to afford this excellence.
Something needs to be done about the quality of Chapel Hill High School before it gets a different reputation entirely.
