I agree that Slaughter seems to teach to the state test standards and not to the individual child's standards. I don't understand how as a parent I'm supposed to help reinforce what's being taught, if my child does not get books to bring home, but 'worked' worksheets instead. I think I can help master

I really wish we could move to a different zone in the district, just so my children can get the same education offered at say a Glen Oaks or Valley Creek.

In comparrison to West Coast Public Schools, requirements are greater in McKinney ISD. Children are certainly pushed harder. However, there is way too much emphasis placed on State testing and scoring. We have felt that the district as a whole is more concerned with the dollars it receives due to
... Read more test scoring rather than the focus on the child as a whole. A child's academic development is only of concern if test scoring is not adequate. At Slaughter a child is taught to pass a test, wheather the knowledge has been learned or retained is not of concern. As for the admin staff and the head pricipal, they are wonderful and always available for the parent and child. The vice pricipal staff leaves alot to be desired, a very poor choice.
