Not to leave a student behind is NOT TRUE. Teachers don't get to teach like they went to college for, they get a list on what they are doing that day and they have to meet that goal. No time for student questions, kids falling behind because their teacher doesn't have the time to answer questions. This is not at all the teachers' fault at all, they don't get to teach like they went to college for. Please let our Teachers teach our children the way it is supposed to be and has been for hundreds of years now. The Government needs to stay out of our teacher's way and let them teach our children the way we were all taught. No student left behind and answer questions there students have.

I move around a lot so I go from school to school, and I have found that it is better than most of the middle schools around. The teachers are amazing, and much better than that of Deltona Middle. They have a great school, and the overall "awesomeness"-for lack of a better term-is beyond any other school I have been to. Not to mention they have great clubs and extra-curricular activities, along with great field trips and such. The teachers are fun, but they still do their job. I admit, I haven't liked all of the teachers I've had there, but that was a select few. Plus, I'm bound to have teachers I don't like as a student. The majority of the teachers there are fun and make learning fun.
Sorry to rant like that, but I couldn't resist...
Even if it this is all kind of outdated by now..
Especially how the parent reviewed it in 2008 and I'm finding this in 2014....
Oh well. Now you know.

Horrible teachers... extremely poor planning of any events. They don't assist students who need help ... expect the parents to speed up the learning of a slow student. Teachers dont respond to parents.
