What people are saying

by a parent
Thursday, April 21, 2011

I am not happy with the fact that my child constantly talks about what movie they watched in a class instead of what they learned in class. Also, the lack of physical education and health training in the system is disturbing. Unfortunately not sure where the fault is exactly-teachers or the politics. Things are way different now than just 20 years ago. Close Quote
