Thursday, September 21, 2017

Lots of fun events for students, but not a lot of learning. Much autonomy for teachers, unfortunately leading to very inconsistent academic expectations of students from teacher to teacher. Worksheet based curriculum all the way to 6th grade. Child was very unprepared for responsibility of middle school upon "graduating" this year. No accountability for assignments. Social/behavior problems/conflicts are brushed aside and ignored by teachers. Obvious favoritism of students and teachers by principal. Very competitive environment. Close Quote
