You're right. She is a hero. I hate it when Athletes or entertainers are called heros, especially when a woman like this is saving lives, giving kids a future, giving kids hope. She deserves 20 million a year, not some basketball player, I'm willing to bet if someone did give her 20 million she'd keep practically nothing for herself. She's a real hero.
American girl These were the types of teachers that Black American people had before Intergration in the South. All Black American teachers who were btw actually lived in the community bought out the best in Black American Students. Because they could relate better.
I respectfully disagree. She is a shining light that loves and encourages those children. Everyone deserves to feel loved and wanted. She encourages the kids to make something of themselves. She emerged from the ashes; so now she uses her success for good and inspires them to follow suit. Those kids sadly may not come into contact with anyone else that believes in them and has their best interest at heart. Every race, creed, gender, and socioeconomic class deserves and has the potential to be and do anything they want to. It all starts with knowledge and education. This amazing woman is planting a seed and nurturing that after so many others failed then.
Aww my heart melts for Razzaq Granger ❤ ❤ he is so sweet.. When he asked her how tall she was ❤ little man you will grow in to a fine young man ❤ ❤ best wishes for you and your family
"I make money with my hands! Why don't you make it with your brain!" Maybe he should try to figure out why his daughter is struggling to get good grades. Clearly something is going on at school.
Leanne Strong i was thinking the same thing. And I don’t think she’s starting trouble she’s having to protect herself. I’m from philly and people will try and jump and beat you everyday for no reason especially if they think you’re an easy target. Like you said he needs to see why she’s having to react like that, im sure he’ll find that it’s because she’s just trying to defend herself.
It’s not a case of her not trying... she’s going through hell at school and she can’t change that. Her father could’ve been more understanding and see why his daughter was crying as it wasn’t simply not being bothered
This principal is a hero. I have been a public school teacher for 20 years, and I can personally say schools are becoming more and more dangerous. The teacher shortage is making each year harder. The country is going to have to go to shorter school weeks and school years. We don't have the teachers, subs, or principals.
The root of this problem is the parents/guardians. How can you expect them to care if their own family dont. these so called “parents” should give more attention and care for these kids. like how are these parents ready to protest but didnt give a flying fudge to attend parent/teacher conference!?! the reason the majority of these act this waybis becuase they dont have the love and support for the people they want to recieve from. And these teachers or staff need to let these kids know that not only education is key but they are loved from many especially to the kids who makes the most rukus . its heartbreaking seeing this really.
I’m already crying there are schools out here in the states that are so rough I used to be a social worker in a similar neighborhood not with kids or in schools but with families and it’s really hard lord Jesus help improve these schools
The girl protecting Diane; how sweet. What a beutifull soul. Hope she is doing well...sa sad to see the conditions that they live in. Cant be easy to be motivated going to school...
Thats why I pulled my child out of Philly(moved to Georgia) . I was born and raised their and when I attended South Philadelphia High School, we had medal detectors..... 1984-1987
This school reminds me so much of the movie Lean on Me.The Principle and her whole staff jobs are tough dealing with kids but they all are so dedicated and remain diligent to help all the students learn and and get an education and get in college to brighten their future.I thank and appreciate them and all Principals, Teachers and staff around the US.
I feel really bad for the kids that live in such a low poverty area and some of the kids that have to go to the same school where kids want to fight and might not care for their future and I feel rrally bad for the principal, one of the strongest that ive heard of, shes really a good person that obviously cares about all of the kids
What is the local government & people in that community doing to help this brilliant woman trying so hard to give these children a decent life? Get together people- show love & physical help for people like that. Together, we can all make a difference in the world. May God Bless you and your school. A few $$$ wouldn’t hurt either - scholarships for kids trying so hard!!
Parents and school are the problem with most schools. When parents and the school lost the ability to correct the children thats when they stop caring for the children. If a parent is beating a child, then yes its not right. But a spanking or 2 on the behind, children behave more and respect more.
It’s easy to be judgmental when you are on the outside looking in. When you have a community that lacks basic resources and that society has turned it’s back on, poverty becomes debilitating. Poverty increases the tendency for people to commit crime-it fuels frustration. The issues in the film are not race related, and they have little to do with upbringing.
SERIOUSLY LADY MOSTED OF THOSE KIDS DONT HAVE A TWO PARENT HOME SO WTH ARE U TALKING ABOUT THE ONE PARENT PROABLEY HAS 2 JOBS JUST TO MAINTAN A ROOF OVER THERE HEAD SO GET YOU HEAQD OUT OF YOUR ASS AND WAKE UP
I hope Razzaq, Malaysia and some of the other kids who want a good future are living a good future right now. God bless them. And the principal too. It's rare to see such a caring and compassionate principal like this, especially in such a tough environment. It's interesting that more parents showed up to the school rally than the parent-teacher conferences.
I hope that freshman boy has been doing good in life. I know this video was made a few years ago. They also say no hoodies but the guy at the end has a hoodie on right in front of of the principal & she doesn't say anything about it. Smh!
I live outside Phila in Broomall. I dropped off gifts for Xmas at a phila school gym at night a couple years ago (the boys and girls club had a Xmas bball game). I took my daughter (who was 8 at the time). She was scared walking through the doors bc of the bars and very intimidating appearance. She asked me why their school looked so scary. I felt terrible bc this is what the kids are surrounded by, a jail like school. You r a product of ur environment. Phila wasted MILLIONS on stupid lights that go up & down broad st. The is the money, but it's not used properly. These kids r surrounded by ugly neighborhoods and if anything, school should be their getaway from a possible crappy home life. These kids have issues that need to be dealt with b4 u expect them to do school work. We have the money to fix poverty in American and give these kids a chance at a future. Everyone deserves the same chance. The amount of money the average American spends on Xmas decorations for 1 year could potentially fix poverty. Of course there r people who don't want to be fixed. The issue is most of those in charge want to keep people under water. We need people like Elon Musk to start a revolution of good people with money, in powerful positions that can make serious changes for the better.
Doesn't that principal remind you of somebody???? Stand and deliver MR CLARK! In all seriousness.... It's awesome what she's trying to do... Those kids deserve to have someone fight for them and for their future.
I would love to volunteer, but as a retired teacher, I left my job with ptsd. I love the kids, I love to teach. This is so sad. Yes, It really takes love to turn it around.
American girl it’s funny to see people like you try to say all black people are going to end up in jail and are wild and unkept because I’m black living in the suburbs with both my black parents still together going to a private school with a doctor for a mom and a psychiatrist for a dad who both have 4+ years of college under their belts. You know nothing about “black America” lol you think you know it all just by watching one video. Your ignorance is sad but funny at the same time. If god is real and there is a heaven and a hell best believe you’ll be in hell if you die still thinking like you do.
B. Berya ? I think buying clothes for every day for the 30 days . Is more expensive.. buying 5 uniforms for the whole month . It's even cheaper.. I buy for my daughter clothes each day different outfits . Imagine for the whole month? .. so I guess uniforms five for a month will b exelent.
Stuff like this make me just smh at the black community. The system is made for us black folks to fail. And there's nothing we're doing to break this stigma. Poverty. And anger does this. But if we don't fight to better ourselves. And break all the negitive. We're never going to be great.
You are all beautiful young ladies and handsome young men, and your families have faith in you. Keep your head up and try your best not to get into arguments or fights over something that may pass in a few minutes. There are many young ladies and young men in jail or prison and they so regret that one mistake they made and their lives have been taken from them. Just know there are people praying for you and have faith in your success so please stay strong and be good friends to each other. You will see how much better your days will be. Your school staying open is proof that everyone has confidence in you guys and that is so important. Great Job you guys!!!!
I am so happy for the students that want that education not skipping class want to learn and put there life for a good path that is what every student in the world should do much happiness
Its been 12 years or so since this came out. I truly hope those kids are doing well and have great jobs by now. would be nice to get an update on them.
My middle school is situated in the middle of the neighborhood with the highest crime rate in town, we have little to no funding, fights break out almost every day, kids bring drugs and alchohol to school, it’s a mess
This is .B.S. If you can't do better than this shut down your school system. What do you expect out of kids. You can't learn in this environment. Ridiculous! Utterly Ridiculous! If you think I don't know what I'm talking about I worked in the projects with 360 gang and high risk kids and have been shot at and had a 12 year old try to slit my throat with a razor. Get the trouble makers out and work with what you've got left if it's just 5 out of a 100. This way everybody's in risk.
Father God I pray and ask that you please continue to cover Ms. Linda and protect her. I ask that you do the same for those kids and other staff members that deserve your protection and covering!
I remember seeing this video years ago, I must say this though: That principle lady was an absolute badass, one of the finest examples of perseverance and determination I've ever seen.
trump better watch with all this immigrant abuse someone will get so desperate they might try and take him out watching and listening to they poor kids is so sad and its child abuse...
What they need is a martial arts class in judo on a daily basis this installs discipline respect for others plus they learn a skill to protect themselves and less likely to carry a gun or knife. Wearing a school uniform is always a good thing only if the other schools do it as well should be state policy. But introduce martial arts and your have better behaved children. You have to blame the state for not funding housing better, look at the state of these places where these kids are being brought up. Kids shouldn't be stressed at that age and this is the problem they are stressed worried so the parents so that makes a kid even more stressed out. More parks in these areas better after school activities Sports, and not isolating kids to these schools they should be introduced to other schools out of the area. Diversity is the spice of Life guttering people is only going to make the problem worse. Free lunches if they are on a low income free travel to school on back should be introduced if it.isn't. what do the local authority County spend these taxes on??? Clearly the government are not giving enough money to local authorities I'm assuming. Does this school or schools like them have a counsellor nurse? The pupils need somebody to talk to confidentially, a lot of kids are bullied themselves who commits bullying maybe at home or even sexual abuse so a friendly ear somebody who is trained is a must. Take the kids on more trips as well reward them for their behaviour and grades at the beginning of summer holidays, a kid gets isolated because of their behaviour soon realises that they need to change the attitude no kid wants to be isolated, it can be as simple as giving them an ice cream or some sweets for behaving properly. I bet these schools don't take these kids on holiday's? a educational holiday Abroad preferably some of the time. I'm sure the local community would help with funding some of these activities if they were aware of them. You need some carrot not just stick, the stick works only for a short time and doesn't help in the long term when the pupil becoming adolescence. Clearly I can see that music room isn't really utilised or used at all shame! This is very important music is a great unifier when people get together learn how to sing play instruments together. Bring the local community into the schools by holding fates and sports days.
Lol, where do you expect funding for foreign field trips to come from? The parents who can’t be bothered to show up for 10mins for a conference? Why do you think the gov is responsible for providing everything?
Kathy Savage but really the local authority should fund it if the parents can't afford it, or you could raise money the school can from the local community to send pupils on day trips or week holidays. Why should the kids be punished for bad a Society or being poor. Shows them another life out there and it will inspire them to achieve and be better when they reach adulthood. that's why!
Ramona Ray maybe because the school is so small. Maybr they dont have enough funds to keep the cafeteria workers. But i do agree. Every school ive been had atleast 3 lunch rotation
I thought for sure the comments would be disabled on this one... Gonna watch a little more before I speak my initial thoughts.. Sometimes I'm proven wrong... OK alot of times lol
They need better and MORE teachers and staff. they need to be trained for crisis intervention. Learning can’t happen if they don’t have behavior under control. Students also need some incentives to keep them motivated and to reward their efforts. I honestly don’t think it would be so bad if they closed down the school. Maybe the students could be bussed to other schools. The principal seems nice and helpful but she can’t do it alone.
I wonder if there are any girls/boys that run the school. You know how most school's have clicks. I thought they would be interviewing that or if the school has after school programs, tutoring, sports, counseling, etc. That don't have anything positive at all here???
That poor child at 4:45 and Razzaq! I really wish I could just take them and wrap them in my arms and give them the hope and strength they need from an adult or parental figure.
If you didn't notice, the air date of this episode is May of 2013. Obama was president. As a substitute myself, I am happy to inform anyone how much better the education is starting to become because of the new administration. I am happy about that considering I am currently enrolled back in college at age 38 to become a History/Government/Geography teacher. Hope that helps :)
That principle really cares about kids future. She can make such a difference. Such a hero.
You're right. She is a hero. I hate it when Athletes or entertainers are called heros, especially when a woman like this is saving lives, giving kids a future, giving kids hope. She deserves 20 million a year, not some basketball player, I'm willing to bet if someone did give her 20 million she'd keep practically nothing for herself. She's a real hero.
*principal
What an extraordinary woman with such drive and passion, as well as a big heart. Simply amazing.
American girl These were the types of teachers that Black American people had before Intergration in the South. All Black American teachers who were btw actually lived in the community bought out the best in Black American Students. Because they could relate better.
American girl Please tell me why the he'll shouldn't she be there for the ones that want to do better?
I respectfully disagree. She is a shining light that loves and encourages those children. Everyone deserves to feel loved and wanted. She encourages the kids to make something of themselves.

I agree
As a person of color I fully support a dress code.
I support the cameras.
Also this is the oddest name for a high school.
Agreed.
LMAO ikr? its sounds like a place from candyland
It's the name of their neighbourhood.
Sounds like a prison.
Strawberry Mansion correctional facility .
It's a section of North Philly
Wow that boy whose house they visit..... What a great kid. Brought a tear to my eye and gave me some hope for humanity.
My heart goes out to the ninth graders I wish them all the success in the world.
LOGIC ! They already graduated
Aww my heart melts for Razzaq Granger ❤ ❤ he is so sweet.. When he asked her how tall she was ❤ little man you will grow in to a fine young man ❤ ❤ best wishes for you and your family
Does anyone have an update on these sweet kids?
Props to Linda Wayman LOVE her dedication and perseverance. She’s an inspiration. like her I also want to help problem children
I love this woman. Her heart on the right place, knowledge, concerned, honest en lots of passion for people and her job! Respect!!!👍👍👍
I’m from Philadelphia and this school is one of worst in the city
Kamal Starkes I feel sorry for the girl who got beat up for nothing, she's really trying hard to be a good student and people don't want that.
Kamal Starkes ... there is hope
Me too I almost went there
Kamal Starkes I thought schools in Savannah, Ga were bad ...
Karissa Miller it’s all over America
"I make money with my hands! Why don't you make it with your brain!" Maybe he should try to figure out why his daughter is struggling to get good grades. Clearly something is going on at school.
Leanne Strong i was thinking the same thing. And I don’t think she’s starting trouble she’s having to protect herself.

Exactly! I felt so bad for her.
It’s not a case of her not trying... she’s going through hell at school and she can’t change that. Her father could’ve been more understanding and see why his daughter was crying as it wasn’t simply not being bothered
@@ambrosiaaa9064 that's what I'm saying. He should try to figure out what is happening to his daughter at school that is causing her grades to slip.
She's a awesome educator full of passion and tuff love ..We need this in all schools.
I hope Malaysia's dad eases up on her and realizes how hard it must be to maintain good grades at such a bad school :-(
Dad was fighting the influence of the streets... he had to be firm
Dad is doing his best and it's working, hence "I love my daddy".
Exactly. Her stupid dad put her in that horrific neighborhood and school. He should yell at himself

klwarren169 No it’s the parents, not teaching them respect, discipline & how to be a decent human being, I’ve been to these schools.
ASMR Paku Paku It is hard to give something that you’ve never received. It’s hard to know the right thing to do when you’ve never had the example.
Who cut them onions???....Powerful powerful principal
I’m already crying there are schools out here in the states that are so rough I used to be a social worker in a similar neighborhood not with kids or in schools but with families and it’s really hard lord Jesus help improve these schools
The girl protecting Diane; how sweet. What a beutifull soul. Hope she is doing well...sa sad to see the conditions that they live in. Cant be easy to be motivated going to school...
What a great principal, able to handle extreme pressure and situations where she may be hurt.
Thats why I pulled my child out of Philly(moved to Georgia) . I was born and raised their and when I attended South Philadelphia High School, we had medal detectors..... 1984-1987
Wise choice. The schools there are clearly lacking...
This school reminds me so much of the movie Lean on Me.The Principle and her whole staff jobs are tough dealing with kids but they all are so dedicated and remain diligent to help all the students learn and and get an education and get in college to brighten their future.I thank and appreciate them and all Principals, Teachers and staff around the US.

But I'm also aware that it kind of isnt the kids fault, some of then may get this horrible attitude from their parents
What is the local government & people in that community doing to help this brilliant woman trying so hard to give these children a decent life? Get together people- show love & physical help for people like that. Together, we can all make a difference in the world.
May God Bless you and your school. A few $$$ wouldn’t hurt either - scholarships for kids trying so hard!!
Yep, parents, parents need to be involved and show that they care about what their kids do…
Razzaq is so cute!!! Can we please hook that kid up with a kitchen, school supplies, some clothes? I want to help these kids!
12:03: Ptotected me during the lunch room fight "we dont want no one hitting diane... Yall better back up"(slay queen slay)
Those two young adults are amazing and I hope in 2021 they are doing well.
I do as well they both touched my heart!!
This story is tearful
Damn $550...
I'd give that to her
Parents and school are the problem with most schools. When parents and the school lost the ability to correct the children thats when they stop caring for the children. If a parent is beating a child, then yes its not right. But a spanking or 2 on the behind, children behave more and respect more.
katterkat58 why do white boys keep shooting up middle schools then

SERIOUSLY LADY MOSTED OF THOSE KIDS DONT HAVE A TWO PARENT HOME SO WTH ARE U TALKING ABOUT THE ONE PARENT PROABLEY HAS 2 JOBS JUST TO MAINTAN A ROOF OVER THERE HEAD SO GET YOU HEAQD OUT OF YOUR ASS AND WAKE UP
Ashley Davis cuz they didnt get spanked
exactly
I cried when the kids started singing is like they deserve better they too good to be in that school
I hope Razzaq, Malaysia and some of the other kids who want a good future are living a good future right now. God bless them. And the principal too. It's rare to see such a caring and compassionate principal like this, especially in such a tough environment.
It's interesting that more parents showed up to the school rally than the parent-teacher conferences.
Honestly these kids clearly have MAJOR ANGER . If they wanna fight that much and that often
Insanity!!!! I salute the principal and her staff...because this is not an easy job to have!
I hope that freshman boy has been doing good in life. I know this video was made a few years ago.
They also say no hoodies but the guy at the end has a hoodie on right in front of of the principal & she doesn't say anything about it. Smh!
This is absolute madness! Metal detectors and police officers in a public school?! In Canada, this just doesn't exist!
Really?
Thank you so much for sharing how much better Canada is. 😐
Linda Is amazing she is a strong woman we need more of these people in the world
I'd like an update on those kids that are actually trying
I just heard Wainman speak at a conference, and I believe Christine did, in fact, graduate from college with a degree in accounting.
I live outside Phila in Broomall. I dropped off gifts for Xmas at a phila school gym at night a couple years ago (the boys and girls club had a Xmas bball game). I took my daughter (who was 8 at the time). She was scared walking through the doors bc of the bars and very intimidating appearance. She asked me why their school looked so scary. I felt terrible bc this is what the kids are surrounded by, a jail like school. You r a product of ur environment. Phila wasted MILLIONS on stupid lights that go up & down broad st.

Doesn't that principal remind you of somebody???? Stand and deliver MR CLARK! In all seriousness.... It's awesome what she's trying to do... Those kids deserve to have someone fight for them and for their future.
Love her message to the kids at the end
I would love to volunteer, but as a retired teacher, I left my job with ptsd. I love the kids, I love to teach. This is so sad. Yes, It really takes love to turn it around.
Since lunchtime is the most dangerous moment, why not split the pupils up in different time groups?
What s great woman, such a big heart.
She better start wearing a bullet proof vest to school
This is America
American girl true
Yall are trash...
The Greatest country on earth... still acting like they are police of the world but they country mo shit then others 3rd world country...
American girl it’s funny to see people like you try to say all black people are going to end up in jail and are wild and unkept because I’m black living in the suburbs with both my black parents still together going to a private school with a doctor for a mom and a psychiatrist for a dad who both have 4+ years of college under their belts. You know nothing about “black America” lol you think you know it all just by watching one video. Your ignorance is sad but funny at the same time. If god is real and there is a heaven and a hell best believe you’ll be in hell if you die still thinking like you do.
Nya Mair yeah but this was a school in the hood and it was 98% black
I'm spanic and I believe all the school should wear uniforms ..i wore uniforms until I graduated from school .. UNIFORMS ARE BEST ...
Deuneska Portugal ...and they're not for free! Most parents here are living in much poverty.
B. Berya ? I think buying clothes for every day for the 30 days . Is more expensive.. buying 5 uniforms for the whole month . It's even cheaper.. I buy for my daughter clothes each day different outfits . Imagine for the whole month? .. so I guess uniforms five for a month will b exelent.
Deuneska Portugal ... I agree in uniforms prevents having to compete, show offs egos and such
Miriam Schiro thank u..i hope the schools could open their eyes .
Deuneska Portugal u welcome. Yea me too
Stuff like this make me just smh at the black community. The system is made for us black folks to fail. And there's nothing we're doing to break this stigma. Poverty. And anger does this. But if we don't fight to better ourselves. And break all the negitive. We're never going to be great.
When the girl took Diana and said and started ain’t nobody hitting Dian, her face 😂😂😂😂😂😂
You are all beautiful young ladies and handsome young men, and your families have faith in you. Keep your head up and try your best not to get into arguments or fights over something that may pass in a few minutes. There are many young ladies and young men in jail or prison and they so regret that one mistake they made and their lives have been taken from them. Just know there are people praying for you and have faith in your success so please stay strong and be good friends to each other. You will see how much better your days will be. Your school staying open is proof that everyone has confidence in you guys and that is so important. Great Job you guys!!!!
This video is nostalgic and... It changed me now
I am so happy for the students that want that education not skipping class want to learn and put there life for a good path that is what every student in the world should do much happiness
@11:58 I can literally see them be the things they say they wanted to be in the next 10 years. Wish we could get an update
That's worse than a jail...
They need the 3 strike rule for fighting.
That principal hard af
I love Dianne she could’ve chosen to be a model at 5’9 I was like wow she’s tall
I hope these kids have a chance...
Its been 12 years or so since this came out. I truly hope those kids are doing well and have great jobs by now. would be nice to get an update on them.
My middle school is situated in the middle of the neighborhood with the highest crime rate in town, we have little to no funding, fights break out almost every day, kids bring drugs and alchohol to school, it’s a mess
Schools defo wrongly named
That no sweet lovely strawberry :(
the neighborhood itself is called strawberry mansion and the school is named after the neighborhood but yeah they should still change the name
It's essentially like a maximum security prison.
In fact, most of the students there will end up in max one day.
This is .B.S. If you can't do better than this shut down your school system. What do you expect out of kids. You can't learn in this environment. Ridiculous! Utterly Ridiculous! If you think I don't know what I'm talking about I worked in the projects with 360 gang and high risk kids and have been shot at and had a 12 year old try to slit my throat with a razor. Get the trouble makers out and work with what you've got left if it's just 5 out of a 100. This way everybody's in risk.
HOLY SHIT I WAS WATCHING THE ORIGINAL ONE AND THIS NOTIFICATION POPPED UP. SOO OLD
There is an update they made a 360 . Just wonderful🤗🙂
Link?
Any updates on the kids profiled here? Malaysia seems like a sweet kid and I would hope she's trying to make a name for herself
“I’m the only man in the house” kid may be a child but he had to become a man already. He’s an inspiration, and I hope he goes far. Amazing kid!!
I thought this was an update of the school
Lorik Krasniqi The schools gonna close down in 2021 and is going to repurposed by the school district :/
Penny Proud to another school lol
Here's a update th-cam.com/video/QfOr4_4ZsVA/w-d-xo.html
Father God I pray and ask that you please continue to cover Ms. Linda and protect her. I ask that you do the same for those kids and other staff members that deserve your protection and covering!
I remember seeing this video years ago, I must say this though: That principle lady was an absolute badass, one of the finest examples of perseverance and determination I've ever seen.
my heart goes out for Razzaq my God a child should not have to live like that SMH WOW 😔😪
this deserves a movie
How are the students in this video doing today? Have they stayed out of trouble?
what a literal angel on earth. i hope all the best for those kids,
I’d start making them have lunch in there classrooms.
“I’m the only man in the house” while he’s still a child him self
trump better watch with all this immigrant abuse someone will get so desperate they might try and take him out watching and listening to they poor kids is so sad and its child abuse...
its all on the parents
What they need is a martial arts class in judo on a daily basis this installs discipline respect for others plus they learn a skill to protect themselves and less likely to carry a gun or knife. Wearing a school uniform is always a good thing only if the other schools do it as well should be state policy. But introduce martial arts and your have better behaved children. You have to blame the state for not funding housing better, look at the state of these places where these kids are being brought up. Kids shouldn't be stressed at that age and this is the problem they are stressed worried so the parents so that makes a kid even more stressed out. More parks in these areas better after school activities Sports, and not isolating kids to these schools they should be introduced to other schools out of the area. Diversity is the spice of Life guttering people is only going to make the problem worse. Free lunches if they are on a low income free travel to school on back should be introduced if it.isn't. what do the local authority County spend these taxes on??? Clearly the government are not giving enough money to local authorities I'm assuming. Does this school or schools like them have a counsellor nurse? The pupils need somebody to talk to confidentially, a lot of kids are bullied themselves who commits bullying maybe at home or even sexual abuse so a friendly ear somebody who is trained is a must. Take the kids on more trips as well reward them for their behaviour and grades at the beginning of summer holidays, a kid gets isolated because of their behaviour soon realises that they need to change the attitude no kid wants to be isolated, it can be as simple as giving them an ice cream or some sweets for behaving properly. I bet these schools don't take these kids on holiday's? a educational holiday Abroad preferably some of the time. I'm sure the local community would help with funding some of these activities if they were aware of them. You need some carrot not just stick, the stick works only for a short time and doesn't help in the long term when the pupil becoming adolescence. Clearly I can see that music room isn't really utilised or used at all shame! This is very important music is a great unifier when people get together learn how to sing play instruments together. Bring the local community into the schools by holding fates and sports days.
John sweda black people don't understand that.
Lol, where do you expect funding for foreign field trips to come from? The parents who can’t be bothered to show up for 10mins for a conference? Why do you think the gov is responsible for providing everything?
Kathy Savage but really the local authority should fund it if the parents can't afford it, or you could raise money the school can from the local community to send pupils on day trips or week holidays. Why should the kids be punished for bad a Society or being poor. Shows them another life out there and it will inspire them to achieve and be better when they reach adulthood. that's why!
There is an update I think you should watch it
Two shifts of lunch would split them in two
Ramona Ray maybe because the school is so small. Maybr they dont have enough funds to keep the cafeteria workers. But i do agree. Every school ive been had atleast 3 lunch rotation
I thought for sure the comments would be disabled on this one... Gonna watch a little more before I speak my initial thoughts.. Sometimes I'm proven wrong... OK alot of times lol
if Joe Clark gets a movie, then Principal Waymen deserves one
God bless that principal and protect that good-hearted young man Razzaq.
They need better and MORE teachers and staff. they need to be trained for crisis intervention. Learning can’t happen if they don’t have behavior under control. Students also need some incentives to keep them motivated and to reward their efforts. I honestly don’t think it would be so bad if they closed down the school. Maybe the students could be bussed to other schools. The principal seems nice and helpful but she can’t do it alone.
I wonder how are they doing now any update?
This school needs principal "Joe clark" this reminds me of the movie "lean on me" good movie true story
Did Zack go into the military?? God bless him 😭
What happened to Malaysia
really there's no hope for that damn school that s*** look like a prison
That boy razzaq is adorable
I see Razzaq having a bright future and a way out! As long as he continues with working hard and believing in himself!
Wow
Literally another version on Lean on Me! But a strong black woman this time is out here changing lives with the help of God!
🖤
GIVE THIS LADY A PEACE PRIZE OMGGGGG THE END OF THE DAY ANNOUNCEMENTS GOT ME SOBBING
6:18 I hope buhl makes it out he got a mindset
I wonder if there are any girls/boys that run the school. You know how most school's have clicks. I thought they would be interviewing that or if the school has after school programs, tutoring, sports, counseling, etc. That don't have anything positive at all here???
That poor child at 4:45 and Razzaq! I really wish I could just take them and wrap them in my arms and give them the hope and strength they need from an adult or parental figure.
Are police officers employed only this school or all american schools?
There’s security guards/police officers at most American schools. But at troubled schools there might be more
Trump why you don't help those kids
If you didn't notice, the air date of this episode is May of 2013. Obama was president.
As a substitute myself, I am happy to inform anyone how much better the education is starting to become because of the new administration. I am happy about that considering I am currently enrolled back in college at age 38 to become a History/Government/Geography teacher. Hope that helps :)
When I heard the name of this school 'Strawberry Mansion' I thought it was a fancy hotel or something. Not a ghetto school. 😮
Worst than prison
Americans fighting Americans what an embarrassing experience. Learn to love one another and that your on the same side!

This video had 4 white people. 1 was the news reporter, another was a camera man, 1 teacher and a security guard…
That cameraman had to have pooped in his pants during this. I certainly would've.
