This is one of the out of ordinary schools. Staffs assumed what they known and stood their ground. They were shock when we proved that their point wrong. They are like a frog in the bottom of a well. They are old school. They should have kept their minds open to the 21st century.

Let say they thought that 2 + 5 = 7. This doesn't mean that 7 = 2 + 5. Wouldn't you parent agree? Seven can equals 1 + 6 (7 = 1 + 6) or (10 - 3)

They could have done it better, but the matter is that whether they are willing to make a change or not. Close Quote

as of now my daughter goes to this school she says it sucks my son says it sucks and even the teachers said they have better things to do than to teach at this crappy school with an abundance of bad children.My daughter deserves better than the poor education that she is receiving, especially because of her teacher's careless and free for all attitude. We are fed up with the way this school works ,and how the teachers attitude affects my children's educational value ,and they don't use the statistics of life only for educational purposes. I for one think Wedgewood elementary is a horrible school compared to the rest of the E.B.R schools systems ,and my daughter and son agree.the sooner they can get out the better, my children are currently enrolled in mckinley middle magnet school. i am so proud of their endurance and precision.
