My daughter has just completed Grade 8 without the Spectrum education she was promised, as well as:<br /><br />1. a science teacher who could not teach and was not replaced until April<br /><br />2. a school counselor who couldn't counsel. She never once ran groups for middle schoolers and could not effectively deal with problems at this age group<br /><br />3. silly "orange slips" for behavior that was less important than the more important things.<br /><br />4. bullying was unrecognized by teachers and administrators.<br /><br />It is possible the school is fine for Grades K-6. But for the older kids, it doesn't hold a candle to the more seasoned schools, like Eckstein and Hamilton.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-60001814416747152822009-03-17T14:27:00.000-07:002009-03-17T14:27:00.000-07:00when I registered to comment on PI, I merely had t...when I registered to comment on PI, I merely had to click a "register" button, fill out a little info and I was in.

It really pushes you to listen and respond directly to your readers (or constituents).<BR/><BR/>I've never perceived Superintendent Goodloe-Johnson to be that into direct communication with the public. But she's sure to get it with a column. Also, I assume she'll work under an editor who wants more than boilerplate district press releases.<BR/><BR/>I'm looking forward to reading what's on Goodloe-Johnson's mind.Denise Gonzalez-Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09841165825412404426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-60086078811636439782009-03-16T15:45:00.001-07:002009-03-16T15:45:00.001-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Denise Gonzalez-Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09841165825412404426noreply@blogger.com
