Concern for the proposal to eliminate science labs at Berkeley High

"I support this petition"

"Labs are a critical part of the science curriculum and should not be eliminated"

"eliminate the lab does not fix the problem. Instead of putting the blame on other people or the school system. Parents should get involved and should ask themselve the question of "why isn't my kid attend to the science class/ lab? " is my kid lacked of p"

"Slemp's dictatorial approach is counter productive."

"Please save the science labs!"

"This is a terrible proposal which will create a great deal of bad publicity for Berkeley and the high school."

"As a parent of two BHS students over the course of 9 years, I recall that the question of cutting science labs and science courses offered at BHS becomes the topic of budget cuts every few years. And parents ask ovewhelmingly for the school to support the"
