(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - Hi. I am an eigth grade student at Grover Washington Middle School. This weekend is the high school expo. My experience with Saul's representatives was horrible. I am a black male. I was talking to one white adult representative about how the interview would go. He said to me, "well say if you sold bb guns to your thugs". Me and my parents were outraged but being the nice people we are we didn't give that man a piece of our minds. Also the children were very disorderly. I asked them about their statistics and when they got done with the ethnic stats they pointed to a black boy and said," he's our (...) we don't know what he is". I know that Saul is a good school (or so I heard) but this experience has changed my view about this school. I hope that someone reports this.
