Goodson, is Okay. I think they teach the start and that's it. They don't really require the kids to read or write. There's no homework so your kiddo likely feel challenged. Absolutely no field trips or science fair or any educational, peer-building activities. The school is not diverse at all. The students don't really have opportunities to mingle or get to know eachother. There hasn't been an eight grade mixer, dance or any activity to make their time there, memorable. The best features of this school are the electives they offer.

My son is doing very well academically, socially, and emotionally.

I visited the school to discuss with the teacher solely to try and figure out the sudden loss of interest my daughter has in her classroom. I was curious to know if she (the teacher) had noticed anything unusual in her classroom that could have made my daughter feel uncomfortable.However, instead of feeling concerned what could be bothering my daughter in class. The teacher attacked me verbally and began to raise her voice. I immediately assumed she had said something to my daughter, and she felt guilty. This is why she’s raising her voice to me. My heart raced, and I felt like I was about to faint. I felt trapped as the assistant principal sat there, silent and smugly waiting for me to retaliate. Now, why would I do something like that? It would only worsen the situation. I was trying to help my daughter, not worsen the matter!Initially, the teacher informed me that the substitute teacher had told her that my daughter was talking excessively. I found this to be entirely false.Later, she contradicted herself, which confirmed my theory. She stated that my daughter was always quiet and rarely raised her hand.This revelation came after her lengthy explanation of various issues affecting her life, including surgery, a family death, assisting a child with an accident. and another issue that morning.Feeling utterly defeated, I wondered what else I could do to help my child feel better in this classroom. She then started providing a self-character reference as if the meeting was about her. (My guess is that these words were meant to the assistant principal sitting next to her because I couldn’t understand why they were being said to me. I went there to discuss my daughter, not her.)It was evident that I was making no progress in this parent-teacher conference. I left feeling completely uncomfortable with the teacher. She was on the defensive when I asked why my daughter had suddenly lost interest in her class. I can only imagine her response when the children do have questions, especially considering all the personal issues she’s dealing with.Yes, I was quite uneasy about leaving. My daughter will be sitting in her classroom shortly after I leave and every day until school ends. Needless to say, I will be worried every day as I drop her off at school. We’ll just have to continue praying throughout the day that my daughter is okay. That was the most unusual parent-teacher conference I’ve ever attended.
