We will see how the 7th grade goes. But we have been very pleased in the teachers, assignments and tests while she was in the sixth grade. She loved her Science teacher. Sherri Fischbach was an awesome Science teacher. My daughter had a sleep over with 5 other girls; they all loved Mrs. Fischbach, and loved Science. Homework was never what I felt like just something to keep them busy. Sometimes, I thought it was too much, but it really wasn't.
I am keeping my fingers crossed that seventh grade will go just as well.
I heard the Sherri Fischbach is leaving Farragut Middle School. I really hate to hear that, and I am sure it has to do with the new administration at the school. Farragut got a new principle this year, and I have heard several teachers left Farragut for over schools. Close Quote
