Hobbs Williams Elementary School

Fabulous experience at this school! I can’t say enough positive things!

Over all as a parent and as a student our experience at this school was poor. My child came home most nights crying saying they were a bad and stupid kid, because of the behavior chart used in the classroom. My child also felt that the teacher was not concerned for them and would rudely dismiss any attempts my child would make to explain their side of the story. As a parent and a teacher it is our duty to investigate the claims and out cries of a child, and act appropriately. However, when you don't take the time or dismiss a child's explanation, you are sending a loud a clear message of "You're not important." I spend my evenings building my child back up to send them back to school to be broken down, frustrated, and coming home not wanting to return to school.

While the school may offer high-tech advantages, the attention from the teacher hasn't been there and I'm very frustrated that after 12 weeks, I'm just now hearing about school work from the first 6 weeks that hasn't been turned in. I appreciate the teacher offering to allow my son to finish it and turn it in now so he gets a grade instead of an incomplete or a 0 but, shouldn't I have heard about problems long before they were serious problems?
