It is sad that you have to perpetuate the negativity that has plagued an otherwise wonderful school…Read More district. If you think that Vernon is in the "Bottom 30" because for the last 2 weeks your child has done nothing but watch movies, that is even sadder. However I do have this question for you, how do you know that is all they have done? Have you called the teacher and asked him or her? I have always found that at times what my child has said is exaggerated. I like to talk to the adult before just taking the word of my child. Maybe they are watching them part of the day which I am sure happens in any district, even ones in the top 20, at the end of the school year. However, if you are not happy with Vernon there are other options out there, instead of slamming your school system through media.

I seriously doubt what you say is accurate. To say that is all that has happened for two weeks seems…Read More like a gross exaggeration. Do teachers who have to move classrooms enlist the help if students to pack boxes & clean the room? Absolutely. Are their important lessons to be learned in this? I think so. Students are part of a community that which takes the efforts of everyone in it to operate. Students typically enjoy this ritual as a means to feel they are a contributing member of their school community. They like reflecting on what they have done as they help remove things from the walls and put supplies and books into boxes, awaiting the next group of children. It is absolutely not a waste of time. If you cannot imagine the value it has, visit a classroom going through this process and you will have a better understanding.

I too find 2 weeks and 2 days to be a bit of an exaggeration. Both of my children still had homework…Read More up until this week, tests were still being taken last week. This will I can see the movies being watched, as field days were taking place the first two days of this week, and today will be the 5th grade recognition.
