I predicted it. When an administration can not control the school environment, test scores will drop. Students are subject to bullying, the principal ignores it because he lacks the intelligence to form a functional plan to confront the problems. As a result he denies the facts. He is a bully himself. These students are not clueless. the bright students who are interested in education become frustrated, and give up.

Master Those BRAT KIDS OR BULLIES need some Corporal Punishment at home or at school to learn a lesson really. I will let the ADMINISTRATORS do it since teachers are underpaid!

been there 1 There are much better ways than corporal punishment. They could start with simply enforcing the rules. Kids don't take you serious when you have rules that you allow them to walk all over.

Surprised I am surprised those tough country kids are behaving that way. I have taught at inner city school and what a difference comparing to WV schools.

Been There Very little diversity in Hampshire county, except economic. Many poor families. Many kids whose parents work in Winchester and the kids go home to no supervision. Parents do not parent. Bullies produce bullies. The administration does not have a clue as to what to do. Small town politics. They do not want outsiders coming in with new ideas.

Reality It seems that Hampshire is a backward county while next door Berkley (Martisnburg) has a large population 100,000 plus and it is one of the largest schools sytems in the state. I just do not like the fact it has no zoning so you see billboards everywhere and dancing girls clubs etc.
