How can I forget. I went to school 35 years ago in Richland. I had come from Mexico and learned my first words in English. I was terrified the first day at school,one spoke Spanish. My best friend was Debbie Woods. She brought lunch every day. She introduced me to bread, bologna, never knew they existed. Oh yeah, wonderful chocolate milk, I always wondered how the cow made it, I watched my mom milk the cow every morning. Every Friday I traded half my taco, she loved beans, and she would buy me a coke in a bottle and peanuts. We took the bus home everyday, we both lived in ranches, tho her parents owned theirs

Horrible school not attentive. The kids play on their laptops and can lookup anything on them through a website the school has no idea about. They push the kids through. I seen it on my child's computer in numerous video my child recorded. As parents we have requested help with our and communicate with us. It never happened. Our 3 children 2 years apart all went there.

I had 2 daughters that attended this school which means I have had roughly 6 years of experience with Birdville.PROS: I always felt extremely safe having my daughters attending Birdville. They have hallway monitors, very few glass doors / lower level windows; etc. Safety was never a concern for me which is very reassuring this day and age. There are also some incredibly dedicated teachers with tenure. For the most part - my daughters had engaging, personable, respectful (it goes both ways) teachers. I also appreciate the opportunity to have my kids start taking dual credit courses as Juniors. Equally positive - the BCTAL and all of the opportunities it allows for career path search.CONS: Lots of bullying and unnecessary INSANITY going on in the bathrooms. Literally - kids cannot go into the bathroom without being bullied, witnessing drug use, etc. Birdville needs to crack down on the CRAP going on in the restrooms. Secondly - this at one point (might still be) a school that allows Open Enrollment. Anytime there was a major issue with a kid (stealing, fighting, drug use, bullying, 18 year old trying to hook up with a minor) it was ALWAYS involving an out of district kid. This really gets old after a few years. People move to Birdville Schools for a reason - they want their kids in good schools, with good kids, nurturing environment, focused on learning. If I wanted my kid to get bullied and harassed with inappropriate behavior, I'd move to South FTW or Euless.
