    "I have two kids currently at Hawthorne and feel it's a good school especially for a CPS school. But it's not perfect. The concerns regarding the rushed school schedule expressed in the Dec. 6 and 11, 2011 posts are valid and, I believe, felt by a number of parents. But these issues as well as others are overlooked because my kids and the school overall are performing well. Now that the school day is being lengthened, I hope these issues will be resolved and the school makes the most of the possibilities. As for the May 27, 2012 post by a teacher - I find embarrassing. The "take it or leave it" attitude is inappropriate and immature and I don't believe reflects the majority of the school staff. To the teacher who posted this review - the personal comments are unprofessional and reflect badly on you and the school you represent. If this is your attitude, perhaps you should be the one to leave as there are plenty of enthusiastic teachers who want to work at Hawthorne without the self-deserving attitude that your comments reflect."

    "December 5 and 6, 2011 post...I can actually guess who wrote it. So now I will say it...You're negativity towards everyone and everything at our school is shining through and people are on to you and actually think you are a joke with too much time on your hands. Stop already. Now you know why no one wants to speak with you. MAYBE you could be just a little more supportive since you are getting an amazing education for FREE!!! If you are not happy here...LEAVE!!! You have no clue how many people are praying for a spot at Hawthorne!!! Our wait list is a long one..."

    "The principal leadership at this school treats it like an extremely regimented jail. There is no time allowed for recess, outdoor activity, play, or even lunch. The only thing that saves this school is a few stellar teachers and a PTA that taps the wealthy parents. The reality is that this school has been autonomous for years now and could have voted for a longer school day ages ago. Neither the leadership or teachers wanted it even though it would have allowed for recess and lunch. Their actions speak loudly as to who they are putting first and it is not "for the children". By the way, a teacher misspelling "phenomenal" is not a good sign."

    "Hawthorne teachers are fighting the longer school day. If they were truly there "for the children" they would be happy to extend the day for the children's sake. The day is rather rushed. Instead they are holding out for more money. Pretty sad."
