What people are saying

Sunday, February 28, 2016

The level of support for non-qualifying (for IEP services) struggling students is non-existent. It is pathetic there is no differentiation or support offered in the regular education classroom. No doubt in my mind that is the reason for the students' struggles and awful test scores. Administration is constantly changing and is very weak. There are teachers who do not do their jobs, do not belong in any school, and should be relieved of their positions. Teachers who are spending instructional time talking with colleagues in the hallways, teachers who tell struggling students to read the book for help, and those who are just collecting a pay check (one whom, on a regular basis, sits on the floor and eats from a jar of peanut butter in the back of the classroom during instruction, which has been going on since my 21 year old was at Crossroads, and is still being witnessed by my current 8th grader) need to be fired! The administration was made aware of this back when the 21 year old was an 8th grader and it has been reported again and nothing is ever done. My 8th grade child has struggled at West Shore School District since 4th grade. I have repeatedly asked for support only to be told she was low, but not low enough for help. She is currently below basic in reading and math on her PSSA tests and she struggles on a daily basis. With the amount of money the district receives from tax dollars, this district is poorly managed and compared to districts with similar tax income, we are ranked much lower in academic achievement. Money is not the issue for such poor academic achievement, management and lack of supervision and accountability of teachers would be a good place to start to clean up this train-wreck of a public school district.
