BY the way, if you see an advertisement for Obama on this or any of my other videos, it is NOT because I endorse Obama for re-election. I think Barack & Michelle Obama are both very nice people, but because of their position on abortion (they refuse to restrict abortion in any way, whereas I am pro-life & adamantly against all forms of abortion) & marriage (they refuse to restrict the definition of "marriage" to being the union of man & woman alone, whereas I believe marriage is a Biblical definition given by God to be used strictly for the union of man & woman) I am opposed to their re-election. I have attempted to disallow Obama ads on my YouTube videos but sometimes they keep appearing for some reason.
ALSO, please remember & pray for our judges, elected officials, police officers, 1st responders, CIA, FBI, Homeland security, and ALL those who dedicate their lives & careers to defending America & freedom, which ultimately helps the entire world, or should, if everything is working right (but this also depends on integrity in all people, for which we also pray) SEE http://pray-4-our-judges-officials-1st-responders-etal.posterous.com/, ALSO, I ask you to pray for racial harmony in America, & to keep our Latino, Black, & other minority Americans in our prayers.

Concerned graduate of "83". I think the kids today has an attitude of not caring, not realizing this is their future and you have to have a degrees and proof of graduating to get a job today. Kids do not know the long run of not learning and getting all you can, extra means less you will need to know in the future and the better repaired they will be to take on any challenge.
Crenshaw is a school of diverse backgrounds that struggles to succeed in an environment of citizens who sometimes lack incentive. Teachers must invest their time and care to override the plight of the students surroundings. The love and necessity of education must be shared and modeled by those in authority. The students who attend Crenshaw are creative and intelligent and need true leaders of their community to step up and get involved. Teachers and administrators must concentrate on the hearts and minds of their students in a more positive way. A teacher dress code should be enforced and intense class room visits from the district must take place for the academic environment of Crenshaw HS to rise to an acceptable standard. Teachers and administrators must reform the school by tightening up security and creating mandatory intervention courses.
The problems will never be solved because too many students are not in school. It does no good to count students without looking at the excessive absent or truancy. There is no penalty for being absent as the school/teacher is required to provide "make up work". The allure of lots of money right now is too great a lure for yound people these days.
I have had students challenge me about comparing my teacher's monthly pay against what was earned by any drug dealing student. The brag was " ha ha- I made that this morning on the way to school". That was a kid who was there! Too many are not in school and should not be scored-
Crenshaw High School, like UTLA and LAUSD, cares more about protecting the salaries of incompetent administrators than it does about students. The bottom line is that there is no mechanism in place at Crenshaw to control student behavior (which is uniformly atrocious) or eliminate excessive absences. The net effect is that the troublemakers run the school and the students who want to get an education can't learn because of the chaos swirling around them. The situation at Crenshaw High School is a human rights violation.
wow, look at those test scores! 2% proficient? now, i wonder if the parents at this "proud" high school made their kids learn their math? give me a break, all the money in the world won't fix this broken community.
My first teaching experience was at Crenshaw High School. Those were wonderful years. I can remember the APEX program, whereby we had students coming from Chatsworth and other high schools to get certain courses. I spent many years at Crenshaw. I am not in Texas, retired as a former Principal. I have nothing but good things to say about Crenshaw. Of course that was many years ago.
When I attended Crenshaw, Dr. Jubert walked the halls inspecting the classrooms asking students about their education. We had guidance counselors who tracked our progress from day one until we graduated. I wanted my sons to go to my alma mater but I opted for a private school education because of the accreditation problem the school had a few years back. LAUSD please get back to the basics of educating our children.

I am a 15 year old student that attend crenshaw, and it is really a organized school. The reason we have low test scores is because the students is the ones that are not applying their selves. If they would pay attention more in class & do the work im sure the test scores would go way up. I transfered to crenshaw from a charter school, andd my grades was really bad. But ever since I came here, I been maintaing a 3.8 so its not the school fault. And another thing is, many students are not in school because of their parents not caring. Well not saying about all parents but 50% of them is the reason. They are not paying attention to their children.
Its time to stop blaming each other and work towards improvment. Students, parents, teachers, and the adminstration needs to step to the plate.
Crenshaw high school like so many others are being help accountable for the failure of the feeder schools. The problem as I see it is that students are being failed in elementary and middle school. Most of the students who struggle with academics especially mathematics do not own mastery of the foundations. Lets take mathematics, if you have not mastered foundation math skills you are not able to access grade level not to mention advanced mathematics. Here is an example, if you do not know the alphabet or sentence structure, how can you be expected to write an essay? After grade 6 students are expected to put skill sets together and apply them to concepts and theories, but if you have not mastered the prerequisite skills how is this possible.
I my opinion the answer lies in making sure that all students master the foundations in elementary school. One way to do this is to use the Math Maze Game system which allows students to benefit from extended practice at home.

Student at Crenshaw need to focus on education opposes to street life and comparing tatoos.
The expectations from the students at Crenshaw are very low, thus making them ill-prepared for college.
Crenshaw High is the best school in LAUSD!
As a faculty member I've noticed that our mission is to make every effort to make our lessons easy so that students can understand even basic concepts, unfortunately, reality proves our attempts wrong WE NEED TO CHALLENGE OUR STUDENTS and we need to stop giving fake grades. We need to get them ready for the real world. After they graduate from High School nobody is going to make it easy for them.
There are many excellent students at Crenshaw; unfortunately, there is a lack of support from the administrators. Students are walking in the halls during class as though they are at the mall. Nobody stops them, and the number of students skipping class increases. Administrators are just hidding in their offices doing NOTHING! As long as teachers give students an A even if they don't deserve it, there's no problem. How can a student get an A when that student has been 17 times absent to class?
