What people are saying

by a parent
Monday, May 27, 2013

This school lacks leadership. The prinicpal has no concept on how to manage his role in the development of children from many perspectives,lead his staff or take the time to speak with the parents about any concerns. The staff, especially, Mr. W. should be recognized for a "great job" because of his love for a high tech approach. However, most of his assignments equate to "parent homework". For example, "build a float". How is that child able to obtain those materials and creatively complete this project without assistance? And the worse part, I was told by Mr. W that in 4th grade, "the school does not focus on teaching spelling or creative writing. When will any Mapleshade students be taught to spell correctly?

I would tell anyone at all cost to avoid East Longmeadow for their child's education. Unfortunately, unless I want to move, which we all know is difficult, we are on the educational "Titanic" I feel I must warn other caring parents to avoid this town for their child's education and your high tax dollars don't support the school system.
