Hey, hey, Melly J., how many kids did you censor today?

Apparently, Ms. Julian used to be an English teacher. Now, she writes bland, monotonous speeches and censors kids whenever they try to note a serious problem at Pittsford such as racism or bigotry. Her old self would be so proud of her today. [sigh]

Ms. Julian is so paranoid over students speaking or writing about racism at Pittsford. The behavior is strange--it's almost as if she has a hidden history of racism or is downright afraid of people of color.

Ms. Laura Hefner, Pittsford Mendon High School
I respectfully disagree. Ms. Hefner was awesome when I went. She was strict when needed but also always incredibly patient and kind. She used to be a principal at an alternative high school where kids went who couldn't function well at other high schools. I think she definitely knows how to manage a school. Also, I think your category is a misnomer because she lives by plenty of principles! :)
Caring soul--but her microaggressions are becoming too much.

Ms. Laura Hefner, Pittsford Mendon High School
When an adult calls out a sixteen year old who behaves like a zoo animal, it's viewed as bada*s, but when a sixteen year old attacks a fifty year old who behaves like a zoo animal, people think they're "in a hormonal teenage angst."
She's got all the right attributes. Patient, but to a point. She's at ...

Ms. Hefner is extremely polite and pragmatic. During all my interactions with her, it was obvious how much she cared about helping the kids who needed it. She doesn't just speak about empathy; she practices it.

Ms. Julian, Mendon High
Her cell phone policy allows the school to give kids a mental health referrals (for “addiction”) if teachers catch them using their phones at the wrong time. This policy normalizes “mental illness” and “addiction” to an extent that the terms lose their meaning, undermining the trauma of students who have experience with genuine mental illness and/or addiction. She also claims to care about racial justice. At assemblies, she warns that Mendon does not tolerate racism. However, her history of silencing victims of racism reveals…something else. She is not helping students of color to feel safe at school, which is a major problem in a district where a student threatened to shoot people—simply due to their black skin.

Category: Guidance Counselor Who Needs To Be Counseled
Mr. James Englerth, Pittsford Mendon High School, 472 Mendon Road, Pittsford, NY 14534
He truly cares about students but lacks the risk-taking ability and empathy to help them. He needs to realize that some kids have large ambitions and are willing to work hard to accomplish them. Those students simply need help working towards their aspirations--not someone telling them to think more "on the safe side." In case you see this, Mr. Englerth, this remark is not a hate comment; I really want you to reach your potential as a guidance counselor and use the amazing heart inside you. Your wall has "Be yourself" with a butterfly. Rather than supporting your version of what a student should be, support a student as they are. Let them soar like a butterfly to the college, career, and life of their dreams. You have what it takes. Use it!

Ms. Laura Hefner, Pittsford Mendon High School
A lot of kids love her. I heard ONE kid who had an issue with her, but that was actually with both assistant principals, and I think it was just a misunderstanding. It's okay to critique a school administration, but it's never okay to hate on them--especially hate on Ms. Hefner of all people. The people who insult her on this site are either too weak to handle tough love or are just plain haters.
Agreed. She's not transphobic, and she's certainly not ableist. She's ...

Ms. Hefner is a beautiful human. She helped so many kids to graduate who were barely passing. Frankly, it's painful to see people mock her on the site. Like, it's one thing if you have a genuine concern, but be respectful! Ms. Hefner of all people certainly deserves kindness.
It sounds like you're being sarcastic because you think people are fal...
