We moved to Belpre in 2008. Since we have been here, the school system has rapidly declined. When we first arrived, I met several teachers who actually cared, and would contact me asap if a homework assignment was missing, or anything else. Those days are long, long gone... Instead of actually teaching, they park the kids in front of computers, and baby-sit them. ( as if today's kids don't spend enough time on the computer). Communication with Parents is a thing of the distant remote past..Instead, it has been replaced with the abominable "Parent Portal", which is updated only occasionally, often incorrectly, and is of no value in day to day communication. I have been to many Parent-Teacher conf.'s, and have BEGGED the teachers to contact me if there is a problem. I never hear from them... Many say the problem is lack of money....I strongly believe that this is NOT true. We did a lot more with a lot less when I was a kid in the 60's. The problem is a culture of failure, An inability to deal with discipline problems, and a virulent permeating apathy on almost every level. More Money will never solve the issues with Belpre High School, because money can't make people care.

I love my children being at this school!
