[quote=Anonymous]My question to all of you Bancroft parents posting is this- Have you voiced your concerns to admin? I have heard these stories before.  Your child is now in fifth grade have you ever said anything? I was in the school a few weeks back and watched a very young teacher who seemed to have no control over her class. The kids looked like 1st or 2nd graders. My plan is to get my DC out. I just get angrier and angrier anytime I get any sort of communication from that place. I got an email on Monday about a PTA meeting on Wednesday. Of course it was only in Spanish. I replied to the email and asked them to send it in English. I have yet to receive a reply. I see on the calender that was sent home,  there was a "visioning retreat". What is this? I would think they would want to invite and include parents who are highly educated with plenty of experience to a thing like this. The principal has these "coffees" but they only happen at 9:30 and 2:00. Clearly, they don't want us there. Why not have one at 7? I will tell you the answer. They only want low-income folks there. They don't ask questions or make demands. Maybe, if the middle class community at Bancroft demanded change and went over admins heads there would be change. I just don't get it. Why do you all just accept it? I am assuming the poster who defended the school is one of these parents. I am a tax payer and I demand more for my child. Stop fooling yourselves, the school is mediocre. Instead of focusing your time on selling xmas trees, ask the admin why they had such a high staff turnover. Ask them why kids are out of control in fifth grade. Ask them why teachers are permitted to put up sub par work. The list goes on.
