As a parent of 2 students at DES, I am amazed at the criticism and unfairness of the last few comments. Apparently, you all didn't do your job as parents and consumers by shopping around for a school that meets your every whim and desire.Then again, there probably are not schools that exist to meet your
... Read more petty expectations. Teachers are not miracle workers, nor are they perfect. Instead of attacking the system how about trying to be proactive. Become a partner with your child's teacher instead of seeing them as the enemy. If DES is unsatisfactory in your eyes, then do the rest of us a favor and homeschool. We don't want your negative attitude to ruin the rest of our children's experiences. Read less
