What people are saying

by a parent
Wednesday, August 17, 2011

My child is three grade levels behind and has a 504 but when I requested additional work and tutoring they said they did not have it in the budget. They informed me it was because of his ineptitude not their teaching, however, he does grade level work at home if I take the time to teach him step by step. That tells me they just don't want to take the time even when I brought them the work he did at home to prove his capabilities. Very sad! The principal Kathy Davis does have a big smile and a high five every time I visit though, and got me information on free tutoring in our community. Close Quote
