[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]it's available online. Search ADW Teacher Recommendation Form. I do not see a space for the Principal but I could have missed it. [/quote]

Here is the form from a couple of years ago.  There is a check list for the principal at the bottom of the form.  I am surprised there is nothing more expected, however, I am sure the principal still has some significant influence and likely reviews all the forms before they are submitted.

Meant to say at bottom of page one.  The form is pretty robust and gathers info from all teachers.[/quote]

I was told this form changed significantly starting with the 2020 school year.  And I have not been able to find this form online for either the 2020-2021 school year or the current 2021-2022 school year.

P.S. This form is ridiculous -- the teachers are in no position to give valued "insight" into all of these different aspects of a student.   [/quote]

Got this from the VISI website.  It looks to be slightly revised, but not much different. https://resources.finalsite.net/images/v1630000267/visiorg/e2bfzeifn730lnoaidi3/TeacherRecForm2021-editable11.pdf

Thank you very much for posting the updated form.  I am so sorry I sent my kids to Catholic elementary school.  Such a disappointment at every level!  I cheated my kids out of an education.  [/quote]

Not sure why you feel that way.  Could you explain?[/quote]

Sounds like the reaction that you would get from someone who really didn’t know what they were getting into when they sent their kids to a Catholic school Having the wrong set of expectations is a recipe for disappointment.

Catholic parents who themselves went to Catholic schools understand and accept the inherent strengths and weaknesses. A non-Catholic who saw the same school as a way to escape the publics at a discount rate versus secular or non-Catholic private may be surprised and as disillusioned as this poster seems to be.

Catholic schools serve a community, so there will always be a range of academic abilities in the classroom. They lack the resources and facilities that the publics and expensive privates have.

But, for most, they do provide a good education and grammar school experience.

There’s always a few disgruntled customers.

It depends on the school.  Our school is able to accommodate students at a very high level because they divide classes into smaller groups for math and reading...groups as small as 8-10 students.[/quote]
