School Reviews
2 3/28/2011
I think that when a school says that they are going to help a student with their academic classes, during the parent teacher meeting I feel that they should do their very best to see that the student succeeds in all aspects of the learning process. Maybe the teachers should look at themselves and try to make changes in their way of teaching versus making the child try to learn new things. The child might have trouble. They need to adjust their teaching styles and adapt to the child in question. Not every child learns the same way. A concerned parent in Bristol NH
