Why Vernon schools might be failing

Vernon schools have been listed in the bottom 30% in the state.  For the past 2 weeks and 2 days, my 5th grade daughter has done nothing but watch movies, do puzzles, and help the teacher pack and move the classroom.  Tomorrow is 5th grade graduation, so I doubt any learning will be done.  I am certain the principal is aware that there is no learning in her school since she must be aware that the teachers are moving classrooms, so what's the point in calling to complain.  I think I'll keep my daughter home on Thursday and Friday.  She could be watching movies and doing puzzles in the comfort of our family room.  Instead, maybe I'll take her to a museum where she is more likely to learn something!  Curious to know if this is happening in other schools across town and if anyone else is concerned or is it just me?
