I trust my school district about as far as I can throw them collectively.
Neither do I. Has anyone seen this sort of behavior though. Perhaps I am overreacting. The teachers seem to stop and guage my reaction as they talk aboaut No Child Left Behind. I wonder what would happen if I played dumb??
at the grade and middle school level, my kids have had some outstanding teachers! i cannot thank them enough.
the administrators, especially principles of my kids high school, are different. we have a significant drug problem in our high school (upper middle class to middle class). the hs principle told me that over 25% of the kids use drugs or alcohol on campus. the school has a suspension policy for drug and alcohol use. hardly any kids get suspended because, as the principle told me, "i do not want to have to go to court. i might get sued." (paraphrase)
the courts and our school system have a symbionic or, perhaps rather, a synergistic affect.
