The disinformation bots are really coming out of the woodwork for this one. The article must be hitting a major sore spot. “The only way to ensure that no one ever gets hurt we would need TSA agents at every checkpoint”

At Resa (RKFD middle school)there have been 2 guns brought to school in the last 2 weeks. There also is an increase in violoence in the elementary schools. Of course administrators don't say how bad things are, they need their jobs. Teir livlihood has been threatened by her. Do you really expect anyone to say "things are out of control-we hate it, too." Principals' jobs are on the line and if anyone talks against Sheffield publicly they are considered "insubordinate" Parents need to stand up for their children and beleive them when they tell you how bad it is. Call your mayor and school board members. East is not alone in increased violence. At Resa (RKFD middle school)there have been 2 guns brought to school in the last 2 weeks.

I literally saw screaming kids run from the school. I heard the screaming over my kid's cell hone. Check the Rock River Times for REAL PHOTOS and objective reporting. The rest of the local media, with the exception of WREX-TV, is whitewashing this pitiful and dangerous situation. The Register Star should try sending a reporter like the RR Times did if they have any left in the newsroom to cover this story. If East is an environment conducive to learning, I beg to differ. There is no discipline and the kids there know it. This isn't the south side of Chicago -- or is it? Kids at East say they don't feel safe. Listen to their pleas. If teenagers don't see any consequences, they will disrupt the learning process. Not all, just a select few that should be put in an alternative school or barred from school. Do you have someone there who is afraid? I do. Instead of WTVO following her around with four days of puff pieces, I recommend talking more to the kids who are there. Listen to them and don’t wait until someone is seriously hurt. There are three gangs at East and they run free of punishment. Yet Sheffield and Hernandez say there was no gang violence. There was a free-for-all that included gang members. Believe it and stop them before someone gets killed!!! Sheffield is either delusional or lying.

The true story of what's going on in RPS205 needs to be told. Thank you for honestly reporting on the situation at East. The true story of what’s going on in RPS205 needs to be told.
