Good small town school just outside of the cities. My children love their elementary school teachers from Cedar Creek. Close Quote

Most not all but most teachers are to stuck on themselves to care.The complexion of a god comes to mind. They chose not to pay attention to the students needs. The child can be the most gifted in the world, if they a not completely docile watch out. Every or most every test can be 100%, if the teacher doesn't like them they are at or below their grade standard. I am for union's but I am starting to be against them as far as the teachers go. Their pay should be performance based on the achievement's of ALL students. At this point they have no other option but to teach. I have nothing good to say about their transportation department either. I am seriously considering moving to the Isanti/Cambridge district. All because cedar creek has me concerned with what the rest of the district will bring! Close Quote
