What people are saying

by a parent
Monday, December 6, 2010

We had 3 children graduate from the Johnsburg school district. With a combined total years of 36 different educators, there were 5 of them that really helped to educate our children. This district really needs help hiring committed teachers. I believe not only should the school day be 60 to 90 minutes longer, each teacher should be required to stay in the classroom an hour after that. This would give the students time to come back to that class after school and ask for help. Do not waste time in class having the children grade each others papers. We all remember having to grade Tommy Whites paper, and every answer being wrong, or Carolyn's paper and you could put an A+ on it before you even started. The kid's pick up on this, and start to label that person. A teacher should grade the paper's, also you should not have the parents grade them either. They could start comparing there children to others in the class. Each child is an individual, let's treat them that way. Close Quote
