In OKC, Roosevelt Middle School teachers say lack of student discipline could mean departure
Friday was the last day of school for more than 45,000 Oklahoma City school district students and the end of the road for potentially dozens of teachers and support staff at Roosevelt Middle School, where student misconduct went largely unchecked over the last several months at the direction of district officials, several teachers told The Oklahoman.
“Some of the behavior I’ve experienced is intolerable, and a lot of teachers don’t want to come back because of the environment,” said one of three Roosevelt teachers who spoke to The Oklahoman, but asked that their names not be used for fear of retaliation. “The students know what they can and can’t get away with. It’s clear to them.”
One of the Roosevelt teachers predicted a mass defection of staff from the school over the next two weeks.
“You’re going to see a 70 percent turnover in this building,” the teacher said.

If that prediction even comes close to fruition, say 50%, that school is in big trouble next year.
