I had no idea how fed up with homework my child could be. It is unreal the amount they have and only being in 3rd grade taking at least 2 to 3 hours to do it each night. We help him after a long day at work . Everyone is so tired. I agree, these benchmarks and other tests come before the children.
... Read more It shouldn't be like that. . The kids don't even get a chance to play. It's do homework, eat dinner, go back to homework, bathe, and then bed which is usually quite late at this time. Learning is supposed to fun not just work. You will get a lot more from a child praising them than putting them down..I am so afraid my son will be held back this year due to the problems with reading and understanding what he has read. It effects his reading & math. Read less

Miss Greer Rocks! She is an awsome teacher, but become more than that to my child. She became someone my child respected because Ms. Greer respected my child. I don't know what it's like in other schools, but the lunch period is too short. We are excited to see who we'll be getting as a 1st grade teacher

Thank goodness my kindergartener got a great teacher! Miss Wagers was wonderful. We had a few problems with discipline. I had a lot of questions about the Gifted and Talented program my child was in, but I couldn't get ahold of the person in charge of that. I would get e-mailed promises that she

I have been extremely disappointed in the education that my child who is in the 4th grade is receiving at Walker. Although she is always on the honor roll (either the Principal or A/B), she has learned absolutely nothing the entire school year except what I have had to teach her myself. I will be spending

It is still early in this school year and I am impressed on how much the teachers care about the children learning. One of my children are in kindergarden at Walker.

I am not impressed with this school at all. The teachers and principal seem more worried about the TAKS tests than the students. The teachers and staff act like they are in a clique and when you visit the school to pick up a child or for lunch with your child... you feel as though you are looked down
