This petition is born out of a personal experience that echoes the sentiments of many students in Baldwin City, KS. Lyman, an educator in our community, has consistently displayed a lack of empathy and understanding towards her students. She has belittled us, treated us as if we were unintelligent and denied our legitimate reasons for absence from school - including emergencies such as family issues or hospital visits.

This behavior is not only unprofessional but also detrimental to the mental health and academic progress of students. According to a study by the American Psychological Association (APA), negative attitudes from teachers can hinder students' learning abilities and overall academic performance.

We believe that every student deserves respect and understanding from their educators. We are calling on the relevant authorities to take immediate action against this unjust behavior by dismissing Lyman from her position. By doing so, we can ensure a more supportive educational environment for all students in Baldwin City.

Please sign this petition if you believe in fair treatment for all students irrespective of their circumstances. Let's stand together against such damaging attitudes within our education system.
