Oakcrest Elementary School

This is only my second day at school with the new students and so far the principal is inconsiderate. They have so many rules yet they don’t post them anywhere and only certain people enforce them. They make you wait 15 minutes to get your kid from the pick up line in the boiling hot. They take 15 minutes to decide if they’re gonna let the walkers actually cross the street or let the buses go first. So the kids are sitting outside in the hot sun as well as the parents and the parents can’t even sit on the benches right in front of us because we are supposed to stand on the sidewalk waiting for them to get it together. They can do better.

The teachers and administration truly love the students and care about their education. My child's education and behavior toward school has changed for the better in the last three years.

I just read the review about the ADHD child, and how the parent holds the school wholly & personally responsible for their child being passed on; while failing math. I believe that the parent should be the child's First teacher, and should partnership with the teacher to meet as best they can, the needs of each child. Just because the classes are smaller than in public school, does'nt guarantee that each child will learn & excel the "same". I have a 4 yr. college degree, but I did not recieve "Specialized Training" to deal with learning disabilities. You see "specialized training" commands more monetary compensation, and No school can afford to put every learning deficient child - one-on-one- with a specialized teacher . Fl. Public School- Salary $28K/Year. Instead, teacher's struggle with the political mandate of "No Child Left Behind" - And, All of the blame from parents. Be part of the solution for children, not part of the problem.
