"The teachers and staff are great. I have two children who attend the school and I am impressed. Yes their is homework and that is a good thing. Several years ago I was leary of sending my kids to a public school and I went for a tour. The current principal was vice principal then and her attitude and leadership convinced me to give it a try and I am very happy with the results. Education takes more than just a teacher parents have to be involved too. the staff is very good the extra curicular activites at the school are vastly improved over the past few years and the community has really started to get behind this school. The hard work has been rewarded with test scores and school rankings. Hopefully, no one at the chicago board of ed starts to meddle with the succes the school has enjoyed."

"It is not the school and certainly not the teachers who are to blame for the culture and attitude there. All they do is follow directives from the School Board and the Mayor. The public needs to wake up and hold those people and offices accountable for mistreatment of our students."

"No one ever said being a parent is easy let alone for 4 children. It would seem to me that maybe teaching your kids how to manage their time and how to accomplish tough assignments head on would be a much better use of your time rather than teaching/blaming them/school for parental involvement in their education and the sometimes challenging obstacles they will face throughout their educational lives. So don't flip out on them/school on how you don't have time for them and their homework. Parenting is hard work that is never ending. "Too bad the kids are not that important. ""

"I understand the frustration of too much homework. I also detest the class work sent home for homework when it has not taught that day due to whatever reason. My second grader is afraid of lunch and won't eat at school but they do not get enough time. I have 4 boys in school, imagine the amount of homework! They all need help...especially when the teacher is so rushed she won't answer questions. I thought teachers were to teach and not just assign work for the parents to teach or reteach. How do working people do this!? Also if they get outside for recess most of the time they are not allowed on the play equipement. At one point one of my children required mental health care due to his classroom setting. ThIs very proffessional man could not believe how this school was run. He found it very discouraging to think about the children caught in this non caring non responsive atmosphere. The child doesn't come first here, only that his nwea scores keep improving. Nothing is more important than the schools image. Too bad the kids are not that important."
