I would like for Milwaukee schools educational system get better. I'm a current graduate of Bradley Tech High school. Which I attended my 4 years. From my experience, The education system in this school is honestly the worst. In this school they don't prepare student for college or life. This school is so toxic and corrupted by violence it made it almost impossible to pay attention in class. I had a great French teacher that left the school because she was confronted my three girls in the bathroom. These girl beat her up, because she gave them a grade they deserved. Kids disrespecting school officials became a norm. Sad right? Many students hate their school lunch but in this high school that couldn't be more true. The lunch is so bad that teacher have stood against some lunches that students eat. Am I impressed with the Milwaukee school district? Absolutely not! These kids deserved so much more. We need to make a change. Be better, do better.
You have to be outspoken when pursing school in this area because you can easily get overlooked. You have to stand out and make it known that you take your education seriously in every way possible. Attending college in this district has taught me a lot about being responsible. I triple checked my to do list when it comes to doing things for my education. I feel as though some of the professionals hired for these positions need to take their job more seriously because The way they come to work and do their job can affect, and does affect, students as well as every day people who are dealing with the school district. I feel as though when dealing with the college side of the school district as a student, you have to be assertive as well as constantly receiving as well as assistance you are supposed to be receiving from those who work within the school district. Overall I’d say the school district definitely needs some work as far as staff goes. Overall you just have to speak up.
Milwaukee Public Schools is Your average public school district within the Milwaukee Area. Having been a former student, I know what type of care was given to certain schools over others. There Definitely is Favoritism and selectiveness across the various schools which greatly affect the overall funding levels and care for the different schools in MPS, I wish that would greatly change rather than having 1-3 flagship schools that are nice and promote care amongst the students. The curriculum within MPS is Standard if not Adequate for Preparing Students for College or post Secondary school jobs. Teachers Usually get along with the students and provide Professional Relationships. However, The District has been in conflict with several Teacher Groups that make outlandish demands.
