I Must Need To YELL LOUDER!!!

I am sure most people with children have been guilty of raising their voice from time to time, but how would you like it if you found out the teachers and administrators at your child's school were yelling and screaming at your child?  Parents in Fluvanna, VA, did not take kindly to a former Petersburg principle Yardley Faruquharson constantly yelling at students at Fluvanna Middle School.  The concerned Fluvanna parents created and signed a petition to have Faruquharson removed.

I witnessed this issue on multiple trips to Walnut Hill Elementary, in Petersburg, last school year.  I found a hostile environment, lead by a principle and assistant principle who ruled with an iron fist over teachers all scared they could loose their jobs.  This created tension you could almost feel in the air as you walked around the school that surely was felt by our small children.  Teachers were under-supported, scared, and frustrated, willing to use any means necessary to get the upper hand on their classrooms, including "scare tactics" (like yelling and screaming).  My son was in kindergarten and on multiple occasions, I witnessed his teacher and several other kindergarten teachers screaming at our children.  Like the Fluvanna parents, I complained, to no avail.  The yelling continued and now my son was under an even larger "magnifying glass".  Seems in Petersburg, they do not like parents, much less ones who "make a splash".
