There is too little caring for the students as developing people. Progress reports get sent two weeks before the end of a quarter and by then there is no hope of getting a student's grade raised. Parents are not contacted in a timely manner.

If they taught their subjects as much as they pound in the discipline and the rules, the students would test a lot higher. There are way too many rules and regulations to enable a proper learning environment in Modesto City Schools.
