Webster Middle School

I feel Webster really needs to work on improving the level of education our children are receiving. In the fall of 2004 I expressed my concerns abouth the six grade math curriculum and was Webster following the DOE's framework for sixth graders since they would be taking the sixth grade MCAs test this year. I questioned this because my child, 1. did not have a math book, 2. was working from math worksheets which covered just basic mathematics. After expressing my concerning to the Principal, I did notice my son had a blue math folder that seem to be covering some of the topics listing on the DOE Sixth Grade Math Frameworks. My child struggles in reading and writting and I do not feel he does not receive enough support in these areas. I am worry about him maintaining his grades in the seventh grade. Webster does not offer enough extracurricular activities.

I wasn't too thrilled with the quality of education my son received at AJS. At AJS he was bullied without help from teachers/officials, did not get the extra help that he needed in special education, nor did the teachers try very hard to work with me to resolve things. My son also brought home some horror stories about a teacher dumping an entire desk and forcing a student to clean it, as well as frequent screaming and belittling. I do not know if that's true, but it's what my son told me. Now that he is at Bartlett Jr./Sr. High things have greatly improved. I'm thankful he's out of AJS and in a good learning environment now.

well i think the education could be impoved and like my son has brought something home where u have to rite an essey and if it gets picked then the school will receieve a bundle wqith lap tops and electronic technology that could improve education and make it more fun.Like if we win this it will be better because like some kids dont want to studie or what ever like it will make their educatation more fun and it will be better cause like kids dont want to always just like studie out of a book and if u have like a electronic gadget it will be more fun and it will improve their grades for sure so thats it on the essey. but like the school has a really bad condition and i was just by the new schooland it was really enourmes.Well the new principal is okay but the.
