[b]Moreover, no school is a perfect 10; neither is any living person! If the OP feels as strongly as initially indicated, she should run for school board and make changes.[/b]  [/quote]

And after those changes are made, someone else will be dissatisfied! You will never be able to fulfill every parent's idea of the perfect education.

There is likely a lot of learning going on in those classrooms that might appear to the average observer as just "babysitting." Just the fact that we went to school ourselves does not make us experts on education, even if we'd like to think we are. 
K-2 educators use lots of teaching techniques and strategies that are specific to young learners. They have studied this age group and learned how best to set up and run a classroom to fit the way young children learn. Today's first grade classroom may not look exactly like our first grade classrooms because we have learned a lot since then about how young children learn best. (And it is also possible that our memories of what first grade was like twenty five or thirty or more years ago may not be completely reliable! :)  )

No school is ever going to be perfect. The only way my child's education will be exactly the way I want it to be would to homeschool. And even then, since I am human, I would make mistakes.
