Wayne Elementary School

Posted October 28, 2009

I am most impressed with the dedication of the teachers and the concern of the adminstrators at Wayne Elementary. I have liked all of the teachers my children have and am amazed at how dedicated they are to helping my children grow into caring, competent understanding adults. I feel that they are preparing the children for the Middle School and High School years well without placing alot of undue stress on my children. I also like the other families in the school and feel that there are many families who have values similar to mine that are making concious choices to raise children who will make a difference in the world. The children at Wayne that I know overwhelmingly seem to still have that childhood innocence which is so precious and requires so much insulation from the external culture to preserve.

I rate Wayne Elementary School as excellent. Although no school is perfect, Wayne Elementary strives to be one of the best schools in the state. It has many talented, wonderful teachers and lots of diversified extracurricular activities. The principal leadership is strong and our parent involvement is overwhelming! I should know since I have been a very active parent for over eight years. Next, I believe the safety of our students is absolutely a top priority of the principal, as well as the school district. Finally, discipline, respect and tolerance are strongly enforced with several anti-bullying programs and an in-house guidance counselor. In my opinion, all of these qualities add up to an excellent school. Thank you.

Wayne Elementary School's major problem is the discipline system. While the school can be commended for their anti-bullying procedures, much of the schools discipline is based on a standard procedure that in many cases makes very little sense. For example, My child was once given a weeks worth of lunch detentions for calling one of his classmates stupid twice. Another child was given a warning and a trip to the guidance counselors office for fighting with a kid. While the school's 'three strikes rule' may look good in writing, it makes very little sense in practice. There are also many bizarre rules, such as not skipping steps on stairs, or not stepping on the grass at bus line up, that are heavily enforced. Added up, this dysfunctional system creates an environment where kids have very little freedom, and when they hit Middle School they are often unprepared.

I really like this school so far. I think WES does a great job teaching to the correct development of the child.
