The Teachers’ Role at Marina High
The true irony in “Marina High School’s Rise to Fame” (Letters, April 21) is not whether the superintendent or the past principal was outstanding or thought to be below acceptable community standards, but that the Marina classroom teacher has been so ignored in the school’s “Rise to Fame.”
The classroom teacher who meets our sons and daughters six periods a day, 180 days a year, for four years is the one who has been “shabbily treated” by our society. The classroom teacher is the one who has made the school what it is--regardless of the school board or district and school administration.
The Marina High School classroom teacher is the one to whom our praise and recognition belong.
