They need to stop living this delusion.\n\nSecondary education is one of the most formative years of a person\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life. It\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where your child can ask plenty of questions, try to find out what they like and then pursue that subject or extracurricular through an expert who loves it so much that they\u00e2\u0080\u0099ve decided to teach it! Learning flourishes only when your students and teachers aren\u00e2\u0080\u0099t afraid to ask questions and try new things without being afraid to fail. The best schools in the country know this and try to cultivate a high-spirited atmosphere.\n\nUnfortunately, Wembley High Tech are the antithesis of this idea. Punishment is dolled out on a quota. Teachers are required to give their students a certain amount of detentions on a monthly basis. As you can imagine, this does irreparable damage to student-teacher relationships when they get punished for even the smallest of things; handing in homework late, talking in class or even going to the bathroom without permission. I understand context of these situations matter, but across the board it seems Wembley High Tech operate on a \u00e2\u0080\u009cone strike, you\u00e2\u0080\u0099re out\u00e2\u0080\u009d policy.\n\nAnd this attitude extends to teachers as well. I personally know newer teachers who have been disheartened by the way this school treats them like commodities instead of human beings. Teachers receive constant monitoring from management, which, as you can imagine, puts stress on the learning environment. Department heads even go so far as to intervene when monitoring, undermining the teacher and making them feel small. It\u00e2\u0080\u0099s highly unorthodox practice and I know of no other school which monitors it\u00e2\u0080\u0099s teachers so closely and well-into their term.\n\nWith ever-present stresses on both teachers and students, where they live in fear of asking the wrong questions, making mistakes or failing, it\u00e2\u0080\u0099s no wonder Wembley High Tech has a very high suspension rate. Kids will act up if they\u00e2\u0080\u0099re not allowed to be themselves and grow. The attitude from most students and teachers is reluctant to say the least.\n\nThis school needs to take a very long hard look at it\u00e2\u0080\u0099s policies and make some much needed behavioural adjustments if it wants to stay around for much longer. I can\u00e2\u0080\u0099t stress enough that you should not even consider working here or sending your child here.\n\nA school should not be run like a prison.","languageCode":"en"},"originalText":{"text":"Management at Wembley High Tech College like to consider itself a highly prestigious school with the highest standards for both it\u00e2\u0080\u0099s students and teachers.

It\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where your child can ask plenty of questions, try to find out what they like and then pursue that subject or extracurricular through an expert who loves it so much that they\u00e2\u0080\u0099ve decided to teach it! Learning flourishes only when your students and teachers aren\u00e2\u0080\u0099t afraid to ask questions and try new things without being afraid to fail. The best schools in the country know this and try to cultivate a high-spirited atmosphere.\n\nUnfortunately, Wembley High Tech are the antithesis of this idea. Punishment is dolled out on a quota. Teachers are required to give their students a certain amount of detentions on a monthly basis. As you can imagine, this does irreparable damage to student-teacher relationships when they get punished for even the smallest of things; handing in homework late, talking in class or even going to the bathroom without permission. I understand context of these situations matter, but across the board it seems Wembley High Tech operate on a \u00e2\u0080\u009cone strike, you\u00e2\u0080\u0099re out\u00e2\u0080\u009d policy.\n\nAnd this attitude extends to teachers as well.

Department heads even go so far as to intervene when monitoring, undermining the teacher and making them feel small. It\u00e2\u0080\u0099s highly unorthodox practice and I know of no other school which monitors it\u00e2\u0080\u0099s teachers so closely and well-into their term.\n\nWith ever-present stresses on both teachers and students, where they live in fear of asking the wrong questions, making mistakes or failing, it\u00e2\u0080\u0099s no wonder Wembley High Tech has a very high suspension rate. Kids will act up if they\u00e2\u0080\u0099re not allowed to be themselves and grow. The attitude from most students and teachers is reluctant to say the least.\n\nThis school needs to take a very long hard look at it\u00e2\u0080\u0099s policies and make some much needed behavioural adjustments if it wants to stay around for much longer.
