[quote=Anonymous]Ugh.  We, too, have spent endless hours literally teaching our kids the basics/ bottom line of their homework.  Left on their own, they'd leave 85% of the HW undone or done completely wrong because they just don't learn how to do it in school.
 Everyday of every single year for 4 years--- Both of our kids come home with very little idea of how to do any of their assigned work.
Perhaps BOTH of our kids are below average but I doubt it.   [b]With our help, they learn well and seem so relieved when they understand[/b].    
Is is consistently bad teachers who never leave and don't get let go?
Is it the over crowding?
Is it the ridiculous open air classrooms that make it impossible to concentrate?

Whatever it is, it happens every year.  To top it off, we hear WAY to much about Bullying, seriously inappropriate conduct (for elementary) and terrible language.   Yes, every school  has some bullying and poor language, that's life but Lafayette 
seems plagued by these issues that seem over the top and way beyond what should be condoned in ANY elementary school!

We want our kids in a public school because a certain amount of these unpleasant issues and how to deal with them is a great lesson in itself.   What we've seen, heard and delt with is way more that 
we bargained for when we moved here for the cute, Idylic looking neighborhood and public school.

We are looking forward to life after grade 5.....it's been brutal.[/quote]
