Open Quote I am extremely dissapointed. The principal is new and does not seem to have a good handle on the pulse of the school. Some of the teachers are extremely dissorganized, actually misplacing and sometimes altogether loosing childrens assignments. When notified of their mistakes, there is never any admission or ownership of the mistake, only excuses and claims of "I dont know what happened". The school as a whole seems to do ok with average self motivated and self regulating students. Any students however that need extra attention, such as bright children that are bored with the standard curriculum, or students that learn in different way, seem to be lost in the shuffle. There is a general and apparent "who cares, its not my problem " attitude towards the students that seems to prevail with the teachers in this school. The administration does not seem to care about attitudes and motivation of the teachers towards the students. Close Quote
