What people are saying

by a parent
Saturday, November 15, 2014

The drop off pick up is ANARCHY at best with parents just dropping off in the turn lane. No One Cares.

Community service they offer/order for their required assignment cost 20 a kid. I go & try to get involved with the PTSA and its 6 dollars a month.
The office people are well trained on how to give the run around for their superiors.

Teachers,most of them, seem to care but there are a couple bully type "Its the rules I dont care what your condition is." Then they try to blame my child for doing what he/she is suppose to do. Intimidation is not education or I'd be educating some people.
I feel this school is in need of some serious investigation into the way they try to EDUCATE my kids.
My kids are afraid of the academics and how to get help? HERE'S A TON OF HOMEWORK ASK YOUR PARENTS FOR HELP.......WHY ARE WE PAYING YOU?

It seems that this school and most of the overpaid RUSD board members are lost when it comes to what works.More concerned with their overall STANDARDIZED TEST SCORES. Parents we need to come together & stop them pushing agendas and personal views.
I suggest every PARENT should take a INTEREST in what these educators are calling important.

Chris Columbus DID NOT DISCOVER AMERICA and you are poisoning my child brain with useless information that only comes into play on STANDARDIZED TEST.

15 minute classes where the teacher tries to force info into our children as fast as they can fit in... The result is a confused child that comes home with homework they dont understand.
I am questioning the whole entire curriculum of this school and the district.
I come from a long line of educators, many members of this system. I also have talked to them and the agree that they are paid to little & worked too much teaching useless information.
I have to do some more research and some gathering of like minded FRUSTRATED parents. We need to come together and turn schools back into LEARNING FACILITIES not McDonald drive threw teaching.
Please take a moment and ask your kids how they feel they learned today. I bet you are disappointed Close Quote
