Schrum Memorial School

My child is in sixth grade, my concern is the absence of text books to bring home, yet my property and state taxes continue to rise; where is this money going if not towards are childrens' education? Extra credit use to mean exactly that, extra, not as it is now, a means to make the schools' average look better; I'm afraid that when these children reach highschool they will be in for a rude awakeing called reality; is this method helping or hurting them in the long run, only time will tell.

I have worked alongside teachers from this school for the past seven years. I am routinely dismayed and disgusted by their obvious lack of training and respect for their students. Due to low funding, many teachers were given classrooms and required to take education courses after the fact. This has created a culture of 'educators' who are unprepared for the rigors of teaching and unmotivated to improve their craft, as a result (or possibly self-protective instinct), they often blame the child and the families.

My child have attended Schrum school for three years. This school is overshadowed by the behavior of some children, teachers and staff. Also, I feel that administration needs to demand appropriate behavior from staff because it is the main Catalyze behind getting children to behave in a proactive manner (teachers should be held accountable for disrespectful behavior to students. I watched this school transform from a school that encouraged individuality to a school that focus most of the attention on discipline.(What happen to student government, this teaches leadership skills)? There is hope! Start, with administration next, staff and teachers then, Children because children learn through observation! Safety is an issue there. In closing, I believe in the administration ability's to refocus on the goals of this school.

The new principal, assistant principal, and the superintendent for the district are all new hires. In addition to this I agree with the previous reviewer that a great number of the children are out of control. This disrupts the learning environment and affects the students and teachers there who are focused on education.

This school is disorganized, students are disrespectful to teachers, administrators provide no backup supporting the teachers. There are constant fights with no suspensions.
