What people are saying

by a teacher
Tuesday, February 18, 2014

I am affiliated with Monrovia Elementary and it pains me to say that we have become a very marginal school. Just within the past few years teachers have lost the passion and joy that was once the pride of the community and because of this the students have suffered. The way the school is set-up is that the kids are placed in a three teacher cluster where they have a homeroom but switch between the three teacher to learn different subjects. We are the only school in the state that does this program and obviously there is a reason for that. I am an advocate for change but this has been a complete failure and the majority of the teachers would agree...but what do we know. There are many teachers that have left, retired early, and that are presently looking to leave not only the school but to change careers altogether. I wish things were different but it doesn't look like the present administration has any plans to change its ways nor do they care. I love this community but if you are one of the few that are serious about your child's education than you may want to look at a neighboring school system. Close Quote
