Albert Sye has made a great change at St. Michael High School he has made great opportunities for the students to explore different cultures and lifestyles. During his time at this school he was interactive with the students. This opened up healthy relationships between the students and the faculty. Mr. Albert Sye is a good person.

The firing and not rehiring of Mr. Albert Sye at Skyline High School in Oakland is justified. He is a very sick man who needs a lot of intense therapy. PEOPLE...WAKE UP! Are you going to wait until he really hurts one of your children??? You have never seen him angry and vengeful the way we have. He will stop at nothing to prove his point. It's about money,control, and using others to get what he wants. He is definitely a racist and has no remorse for his actions. As far as credit cards and misuse of funds......BELIEVE IT PEOPLE! As far as a BULLY.....he wins the grand prize in our book! WAKE UP AND MOVE ON PEOPLE. YOUR CHILDREN DESERVE BETTER.

Do you have any link? I'm not saying your lying, but it isn't very convincing if you don't have an evidence, examples, etc.

Same thing happened when he was at my school in Georgia. He really has not changed.

with everything a person in a position of power does. There will always be disgruntle people, parents, teachers or students no matter what ya do. Some will have valid points and others will just be petty nonsense.

Same thing happen in Georgia. Leopard can't change his spots no matter where you go. Good luck Oakland!!!

As a parent, I will not be rallying for Mr. Sye. He and I have already a run in at the beginning of the school year... I am not a fan of his. And he does not a good relationship with students according to my Child!

Parents rallying ... has there been a rally? A petition? A survey? Did you receive a bunch of calls? If three outspoken parents called you, that does not mean there are thousands more who feel the same way. Just saying.

Mr. Sye has only been on the job since the end of August, but now you're crediting him for the performing arts department, hiring a football coach and cutting truancy? Why not just say you like him and want him to stay and give some real examples of success? When you exaggerate so, it makes it hard to take your position seriously. He is not a miracle worker. The charges may or may not be true. If true, they may or may not warrant firing.

College Board Policy stipulates that an acting AP Teacher cannot be the AP Coordinator. AP Teachers have "stepped up", and then some, to salvage Skyline's AP Program. We have met frequently and done nothing short of beg this administration FOR MONTHS to appoint an AP Coordinator. Finally, the job is being handled by three people giving a lot of unpaid time. The little time they can give is available because other faculty members,(those same lazy, despicable AP Teachers), have taken on extra class loads and responsibilities in order to free the coordinators. Teacher bashing is frequently misapplied and never productive.

So, high-handed assistant administrators from the previous failed administration now want to scream foul when they are told to get in line with the program for the students. This is why this school is having trouble. Truancy is down, violence is down, trouble on the buses heading to Skyline is down. A new coach is on the way, the performing arts is growing stronger every day and still performing. All of this since Al Sye came on board. Skyline has a high number of AP classes and he is still working on getting an AP advisor. Funny how none of the existing AP teachers are willing to step up and be the advisor. Let Al Sye do his job! Skyline has been in a steady decline for the last 10-12 years and they expect this man to clear up everything without support in a couple of months? Damn! I feel sorry for our new president if this is the true thought of the public. Can people please remember that what is best for the students, our children is what should be priority, not this petty squabbling amongst adults.
