What people are saying

Friday, June 10, 2016

Classroom sizes at the elementary level are sometimes 30+. Likely average 27-28. Teachers are force fed administrative agenda which drives creativity from the classroom and decreases moral. Overall academic performance lags given the caliber of students and parent involvement and support. Close Quote
