Burnett Elementary School

One thing I don't understand about this school is why is it important for a child to tuck his shirt in his pants what does that have to do with education.They are children let them grow they are not in the military yet they are there to learn not to worry about weather they are going to get in trouble cause the shirt is not tucked in its the only elem school I know that does this.Rate this school BAD.

There is no care in teaching the student but just so they can pass the "big" test. After the "big" test, there is no teaching just play work until the end of school. I would like to see my child taught not for the "big" test but taught for the sake of teaching. Teachers unresponsive. Principal is really not worth the title she has. This school population is mostly black and no one really cares if it is a top notch school.

My daughter just started this school and I hate it. My daughter never brings homework for math, reading or English. I have never seen a school that does not give out homework. I just moved and this district and where I came from students have homework everyday, but Friday. How do the parents know what is expected of their child if he or she never brings home work to do. The math teacher tells the students he does not care if they learn or not because he is getting paid one way or the other. That is a terrible thing to tell a child. I am running from this district as soon as I can. I feel sorry for these students. no wonder only 60 percent passed the standardized math test with a math teacher like this, I am not surprise. Math is repetitious, the more you do it the better you get. Student should have math homework, daily. This is sad and I feel sorry for these students because the parents have no clue to what it takes for their child to succeed in school as well as life.

I have now left the school after trying to get a conference for months ..I have never seen this many incompetent people in one group. I dont know how they accomplished it. This school puts everything on the parent and child. They do not take responsibility. The children are not allowed to talk during lunch while this music plays for 15 min increments. I stood in the office with a crazy face and broke down to some lady that these children are not to be silenced because they dont feel like hearing loud noises. THEY ARE KIDS! My son learned nothing at this school. He failed in his classes simply because they do not know how to preaent curriculum. This is not a lack of parenting or interest but a lack of good organization, trust, pride and commitment. Sloppy is the best word. I contacted 4 people at this school by email telephone and in person. Still no call back. Who does that?
