Students leaving Bronx High School of Science for the day
A faculty revolt over working conditions is rocking the storied Bronx High School of Science, causing teachers to leave the elite public school.
Math teachers in particular blame a new administrator - Assistant Principal Rosemarie Jahoda - for verbal abuse, claiming they are admonished in front of students and have had their jobs threatened.
The percentage of teachers who had stayed at the school for more than two years had dropped to 66% in 2007 from 80% the year before.
“The worst she’s done is that we’ve lost faculty,” said a tenured teacher, who like all of the teachers interviewed asked that their names not be used for fear of retaliation.
“It’s gone beyond just being an unpleasant place to work.”
