Wardynski’s Zero Sum Game of Ab...
Here in Huntsville, the teachers and staff of our district, most of whom have given their time, their money, their very lives for our schools, are being systematically insulted, embarrassed, bullied, and abused on a daily basis.
They are being told that they are not dedicated. They are being told that anyone can do their jobs. They are being [...]
Huntsville City Schools to Teachers: ...
Remember last year when the Alabama State Legislature decided that giving a gift to a teacher was just the worst possible thing that any one could ever do?

Of the 43 who have resigned or retired, 19 were teachers and an additional 4 worked directly with students.
This is just the beginning [...]

An Open House Thank You
