Collins HS: Save Physics and Keep Mr. Chu Full-Time
By signing this petition, we ask Collins Family High School to put their students first, just like Mr. Chu has over the years. We ask Collins Family High School to continue to provide physics as a subject and offer Mr. Chu a full-time position.
Why is this important?
On May 7th, 2015, Alliance Collins Family administration announced that all physics classes would be completely phased out by the end of the following school year. Mr. Chu, Alliance Collins Family’s physics teacher, would lose his job by the end of next year.
We, as current and former students of Collins Family High School, believe that Mr. Chu is an effective teacher. He has made a deep and lasting connection with countless students, despite having come from a different background. Through his position as a physics teacher, Mr. Chu has worked tirelessly to encourage and prepare students to go into fields in engineering and other sciences, which are fields underrepresented by the Latino student population that Collins Family High school serves.
As students, we have seen too many good teachers leave Collins Family High School. Mr. Chu has made a commitment to stay and continue to serve this student body. Collins Family High School should do everything in their power to allow Mr. Chu to stay as a full time teacher.
