      <![CDATA[Mr. Spader does NOT have all the facts, if he did he would not make such uneducated and disrespectful remarks. That being said, as a former D2 employee who was treated very unjustly because of Mike Miles and his underhanded tactics and blatant disrespect for employees who gave so much of themselves to their jobs, I hope to sit and watch Mike get his professional reputation trashed the same way he has done to so many.

I taught in D2 for four years, last year I was at Sierra, and I want to say publicly:<br>
  GO STALLIONS!!! I'm proud to have known you.<br>

My position was eliminated due to budget constraints, and, while no one wants to face unemployment in this economy, in was glad to leave the district.

      <![CDATA[iv only been in this state for so long but i know just from what i hear that these schools need to crack down on you kids<br>
i went to school in south carolina and its way more intense <br>
it seems like the east is alot more about their education than out west <br>
and i dont mean that in any messed up way.<br>
just saying<br>
but the only thing i found humorous is the kids actually left class to go on strike <br>
so yes to me that is funny, where i went to school if you leave the school property without parent concent then you would be charged for truancy<br>
this school district has some straightening up to do is all im saying.<br>
so stop getting mad when i state my own personal opinion

For you to sit there and find it humorous that we, as students are standing up to try to correct and better our educations is absolutely insulting. I wish we could all just "go to school, sit down and learn," but the fact of the matter is that we can't.

      <![CDATA[well from this article seems like maybe the 2 teachers that were removed prolly didnt want their buisness discussed with everybody <br>
Also maybe the students parents should teach them to listen to their elders and not walk right out of class<br>
i find this humorous also, i laughed while reading about a bunch of kids trying to protest against the school. hahhahahah<br>
GO TO SCHOOL SIT DOWN AND LEARN, STOP ACTING LIKE ITS SUCH A BIG DEAL.<br>
where im from and went to school everybody would have just got in trouble not sent to class.

      <![CDATA[I really dislike how miles is making not only the advanced but all students feel uneducated... and it is like we are traveling back to elementary learning.. I already graduated from there and middle school as well it would be nice if he would stop messing with my chance of graduating high school!

      <![CDATA[when attending the board meeting, all the superintendent did was drink his water and laugh, like it was joke,never made any comments, why because all he is worried about is his kids going to district 20 and they going to harvard, and if the kids at sierra don't like it there to go to widefield, what type of individual is this, they all need to be voted out of there position, what they actually need is to take dr. judith smith out of retirement and put her back at sierra, so the students feel wanted again, so that way the students do not feel as though they are being discriminated, because they are part of district 2
