The board of education is very inappropriate, to their employees. Close Quote

Cromwell Middle School is preparing students for a socialist government and a globalist vision. They are anti-nationalism and anti-American, as reflected in their history/civics programs. Teachers promote a leftist political agenda rather than being politically-neutral. They have assigned socialist-style seating at lunch. No touching in the hallways. Students are coddled and kept from experiencing character-building, every-day life interactions with other children. They push inclusion at the expense of liberty. They strive for diversity unless it is diversity of thought. In civics classes, children debate on whether to ban free speech and guns with a strong emphasis on defining what speech should be eliminated (so-called hate speech) and what guns should be eliminated (all guns). History teachers at the school argue that the Constitution is a fluid, living document meant to be changed. They also argue that the United States has no culture at all. (a push for multi-culturalism). God help the children who attend Cromwell Middle School. Close Quote

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
