Less than a rolemodel for your kids...Mrs Patrick...

Hello all Lisle residents. My name is Michael Patrick, spouse of Lisle High School English teacher Svea Patrick. I am writing this time without any alias to let the citizens of Lisle know exactly what is happening at your local high school.  I have recently written a few prior posts to this paper enlightening all of those parents with students at the school exactly the kind of quality that you have working at the senior high school. I can no longer “pretend”  to be a concerned citizen of Lisle, I am now just a bystander that believes that the people who pay the salaries of these city employees should be held a little more accountable for the decisions that they make in front of your children; the students at Lisle High School.  I am aware that my personal relationship may make this article a bit subjective on my part, but it does not change the facts of what I am about to tell all of you taxpaying citizens of Lisle. I must keep this above board (as the Lisle School District has threatened to sue me for telling what I know if I were to continue to include the school staff-members of this information) so that hopefully one or more of you will act on this and make some changes to what appears to be questionable decisions in what may or may not affect your children’s education.  In my 12 years of intimate knowledge I sat back while I heard some troubling stories from Svea Patrick and her colleague and Lisle educator Brittany Immormino about the lack of moral standards that are practiced in your beloved district. The following examples are things that my wife and her friends hoped would never make it to the public stage: One incident included a teacher being “quietly” terminated for “duct-taping” a child’s hands to their desk. The public was never informed as the correct measure necessary was taken and the teacher let go, but was the public (these are, in-fact, public employees) ever informed?  Another incident where a former teacher was pulled over and arrested for driving while under the influence of alcohol on the way to teach at the high school. This incident was handled and I was told that she was dismissed with some level of compensation on the tax-payers dime. Another incident where a particular teacher admitted to stealing interview questions before the interviews were held and emailing them to a candidate (that would get the job and follow this up by having an affair with the new hire that used these questions to unfairly get the job) and she has yet to be punished because the school has stated that the questions stolen and emailed were “the wrong questions”.  Yet another incident, one that remained quiet to all but the staff at the high school was the tale of another current female Art teacher having an affair with a track coach. These occurrences are just to name a few of the practices that go on at the senior high school. It is time that the people in charge of the student’s academic and some would say moral education be held to a standard that any parent would be happy to have…. After hearing just these few examples of your educator’s behavior, are you happy?
