I think the Pre-K teachers at Johnson are wonderful! They go above and beyond what is expected of them. Some parents should look in the mirror before they criticize these hard working, dedicated teachers.

My Pre-k student attends this school, I think the teachers can do better, they have no enthusiam, they have a routine type approach and no creativity.
