After reading everything printed in the local paper as well as the Scranton Times, my thought is why not eliminate the pre K classes and just keep kindergarten classes, then you would be able to keep the Family and Consumer Science class. I have heard from many students that they love this class and the teacher. Doesn't the opinions of students mean anything?
ReplyDeleteI have to say I don't agree with this. My daughter absolutely loved pre-k and couldn't wait to go every day! It's a great program for the kids. She learned alot and was better prepared for kindergarten. I sincerely hope they keep it a full day for I have another child who will be attending.
ReplyDeleteIf the family and consumer science class is taken away, many of the students in our highschool will never be taught how to cook, sew, or anything about child development. I think we should keep those courses. I understand that it's hard with the budget, but many students will be heart broken to see Mrs. Rossi leave.
ReplyDeleteI do not know this teacher, and my comments are nothing against her. What are the parent responsibilities? If family consumer science is taken away, it means it is up to us, the parents, to teach our children these skills. I believe as parents this is our responsibility. I am sure this teacher is a very nice lady, and I am sure she may teach these skills in a more efficient manner than some os us would, but since when is it really someone else's responsibility to teach our children to be able to function on their own. I will again say that I feel this school has room to cut and spend smarter, but everyone, teachers, administration, students and parents must be willing to do more with less.
ReplyDeleteSince when is it the schools responsibility to provide pencils, paper and notebooks, or breakfast to hundreds of kids taking a test this month. Lots of money down the drain
