Ralph Waldo Emerson Elementary School

My daughter teacher isn’t doing her job. I’m teaching her more at home than she’s learning her 8 hours in this school. They give them hand sheets all day then when the test come they expect them to know what’s 8-_+2= in the second grade! This is unacceptable! We need more dedicated teachers who are passionate about kids education!

My daughter attended Wilde for 5 years and our experience was definitely a smooth ride. I do feel as though the teachers did a wonderful job trying to encourage and teach the children and I am so grateful for all their patients and efforts, as the teaching can be a difficult job at times. As far as emotional support, the experience we endured was not as I had hoped it would be. I contacted the social worker about some changes I noticed in my daughter's behavior and asked for her to have a personal conversation with my daughter to kind of get a clue as to what was going on and she failed to get back in touch with me, not a single word. That was the beginning of my daughters 5th grade year. That really upset me, thankfully I looked elsewhere for help. Safety will always be a concern for our children, I feel as if they really took that bull by the horns, it was very important to the school, and they took good precautions to ensure the children's safety. All schools put on that welcome face to ensure that the numbers are up, I do feel like they do push the inclusivity of parents being part of the children's learning, however I feel as if some homework should be given along with unfinished daily work. This school really pushes the reading deal, which is awesome, but as a parent I want to see that they have an understanding of what it is they are being taught. Overall, I am glad our experience was smooth.
