What people are saying

by a student
Wednesday, February 11, 2009

I went to these schools for a while when I was younger and totally hated it. I moved in from Ohio and it was completely different. The children in low grades didn't even get recess. I was in fourth grade, and we didn't have this... Fourth grade. It's not that big of a deal now, but for fourth graders it is. The educational system wasn't all that great and many of the teachers made "threats" to me in school, because corporal punishment is allowed there, as long as parents fill out a consent form. My parents didn't sign it, but my teacher at one point threatened to whip me. Some of the teachers were actually alright, but if you did well in classes, or didn't act like a fool, you were made fun of by a multitude of the other kids. I remember being called a teachers pet because I didn't act up in class. The schools are not very good at all, and for people planning to move there, I would suggest home school. I don't know about other schools in Tennessee, but I know that this was an extremely rural area that put poor effort into the education system, probably because of funding in the area. I loved the land scape of the smokies, but the schools made me long to leave as soon as possible. Close Quote
