If only he knew what an ass he makes out of himself. If only he knew that no one takes him seriously because he doesn't know his ass from his elbow when it comes to everyday classroom behaviors and management. He is a laughing stock in this district just like Durkin. Please, Mr. DE Falco...if you know so much about teaching , model the correct behavior, walk in our shoes for a few days, then talk to us! IF not, please stick to what you know....bullying seems to be your forte.

Parker is the school in which she and Chester have had the most input, specifically as a turn around model. New teachers, longer days, new principals, and who knows what else. From 2014 to 2015 Grade 3 results down horribly in both English Language Arts and Math. Same for Grade 4. Grade 5 held steady. Pacheco, the once spotlight Level 1 school is sinking fast. Just look at the results. Someone needs to ask her what is going on. Teachers are working very hard to improve student performance at each school and there has been improvement, but more concerning is what is going on where her she has had major involvement.
