Belton Middle School

Posted February 8, 2009

this school i thought was a fun school and very active in football but... one problem i have with this school is some of the teachers and that some styles of hair must be put down because it is the name of the style or it is a 'distraction'. the distraction part really ticks me off because i have had this happen personally and i cannot wear my hair style of choice because it is a distraction and guess what the har style is? it is a faux-hawk and it is barely 3 inches long and not only that but one of my friends hair styles had to be put down their hair because of its name the 'devil lock' but i think the attitude of most of the teachers and the kids outwieghs all of that

We have moved several times in my daughter's life allowing us to see other school districts. This particular school fails to impress me. 1) Failure to provide a genuine gifted/talented program. There is absolutely no point to enrolling your child in the AP or G/T programs. They do not cause my daughter to be enriched in any fashion. 2) A heavy emphasis is placed on filling out worksheets and busy work without actual learning. The homework is not challenging nor particular instructive. It is just something to keep the children busy. 3) Heavy emphasis is placed on the TAKS test in all the Belton schools, with a failure to actually teach. If teachers taught their students throughout the year, there would be no need for such a heavy emphasis on passing the TAKS test. Overall, just not very impressed.
