They hold back advanced students to boost there class scores. I moved my children in grade school where they tested and skipped grades. They are challenged by the school they are in. Close Quote

Where to start...school material does not promote learning: worksheets, laptops, indifferent teachers. Feels like they are focused on learning whats on the internet. Teachers share stories about their dating life and bully children to feel better about themselves. Pretty sad example for a school. Close Quote
