OLG has shown lots of improvement from last year. The new teachers that came into the upper grades were a huge help. They pushed the children to learn and they actually did work. Finishing the book shouldn't be what is important. It should be mastering the work so they can retain the information- not simply be pushed on the subject.
School year 2008-2009, my son's class did not finish all chapters in any subject. We are advised that unfinished chapters will be part of next year's program. They collected tution fee for the year to cover the entire text book, not some of it and now.... At least in public schools they finish all the chapters. Now if my child goes from OLG to public school, he will be at a loss as he did not learn all the chapters during the school year. Way to Go OLG, Way to go downhill!!!!
It seems the principal and parish priest only want parents help for money, other donations and special events. When it comes to the classrooms parents are expected to 'mind their own business.' Many teachers seem unhappy and it affects the classrooms, including how children treat each other. There is very little hands-on learning even in the lower grades, just work books and work sheets. Office staff is kind but even the simplest of procedures seems to be disorganized. Many times it seems like the 'right hand' doesn't know what the 'left hand' is doing. Even notes that go home and are signed by the principal are confusing or leave out important information, so parents have to ask the teachers a lot of questions about school events or procedures.
