While doing distance learning, my child wasn't turning in homework. She was attending every day. Had her camera on, participated in class but didn't turn in assignments. Did the teacher ever reach out to me? Of course not. My child had 3 months of missing assignments. When I found out about it, the teacher AND principal aid, oh she can make up the missed assignments over Thanksgiving break. If she's not caught up by Christmas break, she won't pass. Ok, so can you put new assignments on hold until she catches up? She's already doing 3-4 days assignments in 1 day. The principal said no, what's 1 or 2 assignments a day going to hurt?

My child gets his homework on Monday for the entire week. It's 5 vocab words and 3-5 math problems to do daily. More curriculum is needed to get the parents involved after school.

My child was bullied during his 2nd week at school. The parents of those CHILDREN did nothing and the staff did nothing.

My kids came from a horrid school and had a lot of catching up to do. Tbey have been doing well with that. My son has health problems and the school employees have helped him and me a lot. My daughter has ADHD and everyone is super supportive and are helping a ton. My kids are in the right place here.
