Sherwood Elementary School

Posted: March 22, 2016

My daughter went to Sherwood Elementary from 1998 to 2001, and had a great experience. The school was old, but clean, and not run down, and dirty like it is now. I recently attended grandparents day to have lunch, and attend the book fair with my grandchild. I didn't expect lunch to be good, so no surprises there. The children served themselves hot food of their choice, not always the best choices, onto flimsy styrofoam plates, and miraculously made it to their tables with out the need of cleanup from the disgusting mop bucket full of black water in the main walkway in the cafeteria!
My grandchild's kindergarten teacher is by far the greatest disappointment. The children have no desks, and no appointed seating at all. They have stations that they just migrate to, and basically do as they please. The rooms decor is rundown, and dirty. Not bright, and colorful to spark imagination, and learning. Her teacher was an ill tempered woman that sat at her table filled with "stuff" and yelled at the children that she was "Fixing to have to take away points if they didn't shut up. You are supposed to be reading not talking in reading group." I left this once loved school with tears in my eyes, and pain in my heart knowing that my grandchildren have to attend this school. What happened?!

Teacher has bad grammar and an even worse attitude. Communicating with her is difficult to say the least. My son brought home a journal entry to copy and his teacher could not write the word nest in plural form. She wrote it wrong twice. I could go on about this school year but this takes home the gold plated doll. I thought I could never be a teacher due to the tremendous pressure of teaching our future...but look at these people who do not think at all. They are coagulating in our public schools.
