So I moved a year ago down the road from GreenView Knolls, b/c my oldest would be starting Kindergarden, and I heard it was one of the better schools in the area. Hahaha my kids go to Carver, I will do my homework next time I'm learning know about st. marys co. and there way of deciding who goes to what school. I was also trying to enroll my 4 year old in pre-k. But we didn't qualify b/c we made too much money and we offered a good home enviroment for my children and he didn't have any developmental problems. Okay great. He finally got accepted when they opened a new class in Oct. Well I'm not sure if maybe I'm expecting to much form the school, like the idea that I would send my children to school, and they would learn. At my oldest sons first evaluation I was told that he was behind the rest of his class and maybe I wasn't doing my job at home to teach him. So I took extra time w/ him and in 2 weeks he was not only caught up to the rest of his class he was excelling. I totally believe that it is my job as a parent to help my child and to assist him w/ school work, but if I never though that I would be their only educator, why am I sending them. So my pre-k son just recieved a letter home that he was accepted into the summer 11 month what ever program for students who would benefit from extra time at school. First they tell me he has no developmental problems, I had his speech tested b/c I believe he has a speech problem, they tell me no he has no problem, then I get his report card and his teacher feels that his speech may be part of his learning difficulties and know we should send him for an extra month of school b/c he's behind. This is hard for me to say but I'm starting to get the impression that my children are being left behind. They are 2 little white kids a minority in their class they are for the most part very well behaved, and because of that I feel they are being ignored, set asided. It hurts as a parent to feel this way. I may very well be wrong, and maybe it is all me and I need to do more at home w/ my children. But both myself and husband work full-time jobs and we have other children. Should I quit my job live in poverty so maybe my children won't be over shadowed, or maybe I should homeschool them. Am I expecting to much? Am I wrong to feel how I feel? Sorry this is so long I've been dwelling on this for so long. Maybe I should just move again?
