Teachers are not supported by the district. Classes are at maximum 28/29 in a class. It’s more like a day care than an actual learning institution. Half the time my daughter was on a computer doing Iready math and reading or working on some work sheet her teacher handed out. No actual teaching is being done. They refuse to take action when kids are being bullied or beat up. They don’t want to lose any child in the district because that would mean less money for the schools. So they either don’t take any action or put the child in a different Akron public school. All they do is pass around problem children from one APS to another APS. Racism is very prevalent. Kids make fun of other children biased on color and disabilities here all the time. Especially on the playground where teachers just stand and talk to each other instead of watching the kids closely. They will pass your child through the grades just to show on reports kids are passing. Meanwhile kids can’t even read and write and are behind grade levels. Unfortunately your child will only be a number, a dollar sign for a failing district that is desperate for money. And will sacrifice your child’s education and safely for there greed. Do yourself a favor and look into the education choice scholarships, nearby districts for open enrollment and charter schools. Your child deserves it.
