Fox Meadows Elemetary has got to be one of the worst schools in the city. My oldest son has been attending this school for 3 years now and I realized that more than half of these teachers are not good teachers. They really don't seem to care about making sure each student gets the lesson. My oldest son is very smart and catches on really fast so there should be no reason he is sitting in a classroom for 8 hours each day not getting the lesson 100%! Most of these teachers teaching skills are not effective. He comes home, I explain and he gets it right away. one of my sons teacher said "The school system now, has set our children up for failure". It's sad because I feel like this school is wasting my boys time. They could be attending a school where the teachers actually teach them. My other son is in kindergarten, his teacher balled his paper up in his face on two different occasions. What a way to discourage a child!! I've talked to the assistant principal about this incident and she told me" you can't believe everything kids say." Then she suggested that I talk to his teacher. I raised my children and I know my children, if my children tells me something like that happened at school I will believe it and I will go to the school with concern. My boys are good boys, conduct always "E" and has never given them any problems. Anyway, I talked to his teacher and she admitted to balling his paper up.Nothing after that matters,as a parents it's up to us to provide our children with the best tools now to survive later on.With my children attending this school it has opened my eyes to many things, now with much determination all I care about is making sure they have a better opportunity with teachers that understand failure is not an option! This is my children's last week at Fox Meadows Elemetary.Thank God.
