My kids enjoy attending Michelson, but that is no basis for choosing their scholastic experiences. While the parents club tries to bring in some diverse ethnic exposure, there is little exposure to general cultural arts. Yes the janitor smiles at everyone, but the lunch monitors often yell at the kids

Many field trips focus on fun, rather than including educational opportunities outside the student's everyday exposure.This feeling of searching for fun is typified by families vaca-tioning in Disneyland durring school days, and calling it 'independant study'. Then there is the panic right before STAR testing and the children beging the endless cycle of catching up with extra homework. This is a good school failing in some big ways. A house will not stand on a poor foundation. Read less

While my children have benefited from their school, it is because of not just the specific teachers they have been exposed to but our involvement as parents as well. The school board has in the past and still does not required a level of safety that one would expect at a grammer school, so either I or

It gives the teachers the proper support of their authority and keeps us as parents very informed about what our kids are doing. I think that it generates a greater awareness of and commitment to our children by their teachers as well. But it should not be a necessity to the children's safety. I have numerous examples of danger to my and other children which re-enforces my comments. Such a nice school; such a shame. Read less
