Has a lot of work to do to improve, and some real knuckleheads running the place. A sleepy place, full of those who formerly hailed from Somerville, Medford, or Charlestown and wanted to raise their kids in a little bit better town. It has a good sense of community, and remains a good place to raise your kids. Used to be a better place to raise your kids, but budget woes have "forced" those in charge to make cuts. . Need to do a better job getting business sustainability, to get some revenue flowing into this town. Overall, The STO is a good place, which I'm proud to be from

I re-wrote the Email for you; I hope you use it! Subject:…read moreConcerns and Request for an IEP Meeting Dear Laura, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to discuss my son, Anthony's, current school situation. I would like to request an IEP meeting with the school before Anthony returns to school. I must express my concerns regarding an incident involving the principal. During a recent event, she used highly inappropriate language when describing my son's behavior, which was witnessed by me and others. It was uncomfortable to hear her use such explicit terms to describe the situation. I also want to clarify that this incident was not in a group chat as initially described but rather a call with Corsell, witnessed only by me, my grandson, and his friends. I am puzzled by the decision to give this incident precedence, especially when it concerns students with learning delays. Additionally, I am concerned about the school's involvement in matters related to my son's personal phone device, which is used off school premises. As a parent, I firmly believe that I have the right to decide what my son can or cannot post or have on his phone. The interference in this matter is a clear violation of our rights. Moreover, I had explicitly declined participation in any group chat with you and other students after school hours. This choice was made to protect my son's privacy and our family's well-being. However, it appears that this request was not honored. Furthermore, I was surprised by the involvement of the police in this matter. Their visit highlighted the school's failure to communicate effectively with me regarding my child's situation, which I find deeply concerning. Regarding the video my son created, I have reviewed it, and I believe it is well within his rights as an American to express himself freely. I intend to allow my child to keep the video, and I also plan to share it on my social network, exercising my legal rights. In light of these concerns, I want to make it clear that I am sharing this email on social media as well. I believe there have been legal violations in this matter, and it is crucial to bring these issues to light. I kindly request that we schedule an IEP meeting as soon as possible to address these concerns and work toward a resolution that respects our rights as parents and individuals. Sincerely, This is for every one to see none of the staff is professional at seem at all I need my son removed from this school asap and the principal need to be fired immediately

Can I take a second to say how annoying Mr. Mirasolo is? I've put up with him for three years, and…read moresince we only have a few weeks left, I don't care how much trouble I get in for saying this, he's really obnoxious. We had to go to German class to 7B team and then to German again, only to find him there to make us go to the gym. Now i'm sitting with my legs crossed in the gym while people around us are playing volleyball, typing on my computer. I had to bring a clipboard so I could work on my paper stuff. This isn't the first time he's done this, either. Once in art class in 6th grade we had to finish an important project, and he took us to the gym so we couldn't do it. They're cutting so many teachers, and yet not him. That's stupid. Mr. Mirasolo is an incompetent substitute teacher beyond words. Now people literally have to duck their heads to avoid being hit by volleyballs. I've been quiet about him for so long, and now I'm just going to let everyone know what an obnoxious little schwein he can be. He could be worse, but he could also certainly be better. Last time he subbed for our German class, he never even showed up. We just handled ourselves and we were fine. And you know what? That was actually better than sitting doing my work in the gym. We were better off without him. When I complained about being in the gym, he said, "Oh, why are you so upset?" or something else along those lines in the most annoying way. Maybe I'll get in trouble for writing this, but I'm going to be honest and let everyone know just how fed up I am about being quiet about all the jerks in this world. The federal government is being awful, they're cutting a ton of teachers for Fiscal Year 2026, and I'm finally telling everyone. America is not great. It is being terrible. So this is what I think of you, Mr. Mirasolo, if you wanted to know my opinion of you after me silently being irked at you for all these years. I hope other people appreciate my rant.
