When my older child started freshman year at Jefferson, the orientation was more about children having other options to get an education that about how they should stay in high school and apply themselves. She did graduate at another school. Unhappily, this year choice is no longer in effect so I had to enroll my younger child at Jefferson. Hoping that the new principal would be a new light and voice for students. Ah, it is not to be? This year once again I hear voices of faculty that do not care to educate my student. Apparently children, teens, are no longer to ever act their ages. I feel as if I am only sending my child to school to be disiplined unfairly for minor events, or even events that my student has nothing to do with. Sadly, I feel homeschooling during these very important SOCIAL years would be best. I do not feel children of ANY age should be humiliated, not allowed to eat lunches, or locked out of the building without supervison or even a ride on the way. School saftey is about keeping guns and bombs out. Not at all about keeping the kids inside and supervised at all times, in all weather conditions. My older child has been locked out in the freezing rain, and denied her when she asked could she call for a ride. Now my younger child is being denied lunch. Told that if she wants to eat she has to bring lunch and eat it in another room away from all other students. No child left behind... They are all being left behind! Denied a passing grade when the school couldn't supply a teacher for a class MOST of the year. Come on! We parents need to stand up for our children. Now that my child was denied the right to eat lunch because I had to work and could not come in, I asked for a phone call... No, he will think about calling me tomorrow. Ha, no I will be there tomorrow. And it will not be pretty!
