Lucyle Collins Middle School, Lake Worth, TX, 2012

This is the 19th video in my series on public education and my 15 years as a teacher. Collins Middle School was by far the worst job experience, of any kind, in my life. Collins is in Lake Worth, TX, and it didn't take me long to start calling it Lake Worthless. I was the fourth math teacher they had hired for that position that school year. The school sucked. Most of the kids were rotten and disrespectful. The faculty was unappreciated and unhappy. The administration was unqualified and horrible. It was a truly rotten place.
