I agree with another post about teaching with the states testing in mind. I feel that my sons' have learned nothing while attending Milne. I, too, feel that the students are restricted from expanding their knowledge. Everything is so regimented. I understand that they need structure but there is so much more that they could be learning in the classroom. I am so tired of seeing the same math pages . It is so repetitious that I wonder if the kids have it memorized and are just going thru the motions. I really don't understand why it was voted in the top 10. But again, that was almost 4 years ago. It is time for the school to step it up a bit. The teachers need a new approach to teaching to make it fun for the kids as well.
They have the most dedicated staff, caring teachers, who try to insure that each child has their needs met.
My children really enjoy this school. It has a nice student teacher ratio. My oldest son was in second grade when we transfered into this district (now in fourth grade) he really enjoys it. My younger boy is very shy and he also enjoys teachers and overall setting. I think this is an excellent school. It is however time to replace or close Milne grove and just build-on at Kelvin Grove the school is just worn out!! They do make the best of what they have there though. I'm glad to be in this district.
I have a few complaints about this school. 1. They do not go above or beyond what the law requires them to, and I've had to fight them numerous times to try to get them to follow state code. 2. Field trips are not educational. 3. The integrity of the principal and some teachers is lacking. 4. The accelerated program is for 1/2 hour once a week. The program itself is not stimulating or exciting to the children. 5. They teach so children will perform well on tests. 6. The school does not encourage children to excell in any subject, in fact, it is frowned upon at this school.
