Critique of Roosevelt Middle School

Friday I visited Roosevelt Middle School. I critiqued their summer program. Stats: 60% male 40% female; 70 % African American, Indian, Vietnamese etc. 30% Caucasian; 100% learning disabled; Class sizes - on average 10; Teachers - 1 regular, 1 special education, 1 aide. The teachers did a great job in keeping class control, interacting with the students, adapting for their special needs, and using a variety of learning strategies. One thing I learned - city schools are not as well funded as the district I teach in.
Special thanks to Mrs. Mulligan - acting principal for letting me use her school for a project.
