My daughter loves school. She has a great group of friends, amazing teachers and a positive school community that encourages personal best and academic growth. Close Quote

Everyone's feelings are important enough to find out why someone is crying; instructing a

student to "Go into the hall if they are going to continue to cry" and not bothering to ask

and/or find out "WHY", to enable the teacher

to complete an overly scheduled classroom agenda is simply not

acceptable to many Morrill, NE parents.

Several are actually busing their children to the nearby town of Mitchell, NE.

We, also, are now having to consider a school transfer as well, due to the nature of such

repetitive issues at the aforementioned school. Close Quote
