[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So frustrated with Sheridan right now. The current 2nd grade class has been a nightmare and two families are leaving. A board member pulled her kid out of the 7th grade class last year, mid-year. Another board member pulled her kid at the end of the year and did not return. The current 4th grade class is falling apart and I know 5 (FIVE) families in that class who plan to not to return after 5th grade. There has been a lot of faculty turnover, lots of bullying school-wide, very poor communication from the administration, a very homogeneous faculty, awful hire for MS Head and he's leaving after one year, inconsistencies in delivery of curriculum -- but they beat us over the head with fundraising requests 24/7. We got no less than 10 emails in the span of a week about the auction/silent auction, but the school is radio silent around issues that matter (i.e. race relations, N-word being used at school by kids pervasively, kids getting beat up, girls getting kicked by boys).  Its not the same school it was 5, 6, 7 years ago. New HOS seems like she is asleep at the wheel and she barely know the children. Its a shame. It used to be such a special school. [/quote]

There is so much inaccuracy in this post, readers really should wonder about her agenda. The "board member pulled" has already been debunked in this very thread.  One person cannot possibly know that there is bullying going on in 9 different grades, yet this alarmist confidently asserts this as fact.  There is no faculty turnover in the upper grades.

The N-word assertion is patently ridiculous and frankly, a mean-spirited lie.  Really now?  At a school like Sheridan, of all places, all the kids run around using that word during class and on the playground? That's your claim?   [/quote]
