Timberlane Regional Middle School

I currently attend TRMS and am disappointed with the teachers. I prefer my elementary school over this. My old teacher refuses to speak to me and often gives me dirty looks, although it was hardly any different while I was her student. Many teachers are disrespectful and treat us like we are four while they expect us to act more like we are twenty. The only unified arts class that I really enjoyed was art class. My teacher is very encouraging and I have gotten so far with her assistance. She is an exceptional teacher, although one of the few.

( my grammar is pretty bad ) but i have to say this is a horrid school i went their as a kid and the gym teachers encouraged others to bully me because i was different . Im not sure how they treated other kids their who were different .. and also the teachers were not very supportive . When i had trouble with my work they would get impatient and angry even when i tried my best .. best advice if you live in this area , HOME SCHOOL YOUR CHILD.. just for their safety : )

Lots of rewards and challenges for motivated students. Extensive opportunity in arts, sports and music.

Very disappointed in the teachers at this school. They tend to be disrespectful to the students and find the only way to handle concerns is through punishment, not inspiration. The administration is unavailable and difficult to reach. We left and found a different school

Coming from the elementary school environment, it's a huge culture shock to feel so disconnected from your child's education. We make suggestions year after year, and somehow nothing changes. It's frustrating.

My son went to TRMS for two years before I took him out to homeschool him. I never thought I would be homeschooling but he wasn't getting what he needed from this school. He was bored and considered a problem. Homework seemed like busy work and not of real academic value. He recently scored at a 12th grade level on the California Acheivement Test. He is now in 8th grade. Maybe HE wasn't the Problem.

I have to say, I was very disappointed with the academic quality at Timberlane Regional Middle School. My daughter was in the average math class and felt like she needed more of a challenge, so she asked her teacher to move her up to the advanced math class, but he wouldn't let her. When I asked the teacher personally to move her to the advanced class, he told me that it was only TWO WEEKS ahead of the average math class and that there would be no point in moving her. What kind of advanced math class is only two weeks ahead of the average class? Another point I would like to touch base on is the fact that the teachers are very rude to the students. One of my daughter's teachers was constantly belittling her and making her feel as if she wasn't good enough. Please e-mail me: imamoose@comcast.net for_more_information. Thank_you.
