As a parent of a child at BES, I am saddened to read such ignorance. BES staff teach each child utilizing the same tools regardless of skin color. The admin. should stick together if your child is in the wrong. It takes both the school and parents working together to raise an educated and well behaved child. Do your part! The school only has two black teachers because noone had applied for teaching positions there in awhile that were black, and even if they applied - there has to be an opening. Most teachers have been in their career for quite some time, at the same school. My child is white and reaps no extra benefit! The tools, textbooks, and expectations are the same for every child, no matter what their skin color. I'm here to stay too, so let's work together to raise educated children, not bigots!
I have had no complaints at all this year. The teachers all seem to be truly concerned about the welfare of my child. I had a concern that I emailed to the guidance counselor. Within two days, I had a message back from the principal addressing my concerns. My child is happy and secure, and learning new things every single day.
I have had a student at this school since 1998. Now I only have one more year to look forward to , until my youngest moves on to Middle School. The teachers, administrators , teacher assistants , and cafeteria staff are the best. They are all very supportive of the children and only want for them to do their best. Everyone knows their role in the process and really steps up to the plate in making magic happen. When my oldest left for Middle School she embarked on an adventure that really has changed her life. Thanks to Barksdale she was ready for it. Now, I am hoping the same for my youngest. If you are looking for a place to live and send your child to public school, this is the place to choose.
