What people are saying

by a parent
Wednesday, October 31, 2012

What I’ve learned about reading reviews on schools are this: if your child excels in school, that school receives a good review, if your child struggles, that school receives a negative review (from a parents point of view). Now saying that, last year, my step daughter was in the second grade at Winfield Elementary, and she struggled. She would come home with her homework everyday and I would sit with her and re-teach her everything she was taught that day. Yes, she does have trouble paying attention. Even when I would go over it with her, she still had trouble. I basically did her homework for her every night. I would have meetings with the teacher telling her that she was struggling, and that my husband and I wanted her to repeat the 2nd grade. However, it wasn’t up to us. Because her grades weren’t “that bad” they said it wasn’t up to us and that she graduated onto the third. Fast forward to the third grade, she’s failing! I check her grades online everyday, and I’ve noticed how the school are “so great” here in crown point...THEY DON’T LET THEM FAIL! not by helping them, but by giving her credit for work she never turned in to raise one grade to a D! “student was givin a missing assignment grade which was a 0% for not turning in this assignment I changed that to a 51% which is still an F. This moved her grade up.” The teacher gave her 51 points for something she didn’t turn in! She also exempted an F so she will get a B in one subject, and let her hand in late work a month late! Now if I were a parent of an A student I would be mad that my child tries hard and works for their grades, and they’re giving credit to failing students, so that the school/teacher can look good!...let me also add that not one time did the teacher ever contact me in concern over her student! I am not happy with Jerry Ross! Close Quote
