I noticed that a lot of parents log on here to find out
what's going on with the teachers in their area. Since the
Marysville thing happened I read someone's post on here
about switching their children into private schools. This
is something I am completely against. Changing schools can
be traumatic for your children. I know that what is going
on at the Marysville School District is not pretty and you
are obviously upset about the fact that your children have
to suffer from it but there are many other problems that
you could be causing by moving them. I myself have been
switched from school to school from public to private every
year sometimes twice a year! There was only one school that
I went to for a year and a half and during the beginning of
the second year I have my fondest memories of school. It is
important for children to have stability. I don't have any
friends from High School because I never stayed at one
school long enough to become "bestfriends" with anyone. I
never had an important teacher in my life, I can't even
remember any of my teacher's names. I only hope that if you
are a parent and you are thinking about putting your
children in private school, make sure you can afford it for
the long haul. Private school is where I struggled the
most. The private school I went to was 1 year ahead of the
public school that I was in before. So I had skipped a
whole year of learning, and I never got the help that I
needed from my teacher to catch up because how can you
teach a whole year in a matter of a few days in order to
fit in with the rest of the kids? This happened to me
twice, once in 3rd grade and again in 8th. My mother also
tried to homeschool me every other semester but to no
avail. She would buy the books and the computer programs
that are supposed to work but this stuff is just too easy
to cheat on and besides it just made my mom tired of
trying. Eventually I got sick of trying to get good grades
and I found it easier to hang out with the wrong crowd;
which lead me to where I'm at now- A 21 year old high
school drop out who's studying to become a 6th grade
teacher. Luckily for me I feel like my experiences help me
to see what leads kids to the "dark side" and I am able to
share that with others so they can learn from my parents
mistakes. So with all that said, I really hope you can
understand where I'm coming from and take it into
consideration.

Our school district is going to revise our report cards by
December of this year (lots of time, huh?) Anyways they
want to develop the report card so that the state
standards are on it. Do any of you out there have a report
card that follows this criteria?

Do you think this is sensible to allow all pupils at
secondary school to wear White shirts with sleeves rolled
up?
Do you allow jumper ones pushed up?
