C. B. Eaton Elementary School

Posted August 16, 2009

I agree with the other parents. Some of the teacher are really unprofessional. I don't like the principal's approach. We went with few suggestions last year for improving some of the skills of kids. But she doesn't want to do anything. She always defend the teachers. She doesn't want to do anything new to help kids.So far my kids didn't have any luck to get good teachers.

Excellent school. Teacher are very devoted to their work and put a lot of efforts to help kids to excel in studies. Children travel to science camps, historical places, San Jose Science Museum, My son attended 4-5th grade ELD. When we come he, he spoke intermediate beginning English. In one year he spoke native English and read Mark Twain, Edgar Poe and other English literature which is in 5, 6, 7 grade reading lists. ELD teacher Mrs Joshi is one of the best teachers, one can dream about. She helps children speak English, improve pronouncation, learn grammar, learn math and science. They have a good collection of books in class and school library. We are very happy that our son attended Eaton Elementary

I absolutely agree with some of the reviews here. If your child is 'standard' well-behaved, he/she will be fine in this school. However if your child needs any kind of individual approach, they do very little to meet such needs. The teaching stuff is indeed uneaven. Some teachers are just excellent, some others are unprofessional and don't seem to like children very much, not talking about being source of inspiration for kids. The activity in such class is quite boring. So it's a sort of a 'lottery'. Some teachers are very distant from parents. Children are not taught how to solve the problems between each other, but are taught to tell on each other instead. And then the teacher/principal complains to you that your child doens't play with anyone from the same classroom. Would you play with someone who tells on you (with or without reason)?

The parents at this school have worked very hard and have fought tooth and nail to keep desirable programs, like art and music, afloat. And of course, the kids are great! Unfortunately, leadership is lacking at this school and the teaching my child received was very uneven. Personal experience with some teaching staff was extremely unprofessional. A small school like this one doesn't afford much choice when teachers aren't meeting your child's need. And the principal is doing very little to weed out those teachers who are just 'biding their time,' while they waste the precious time of the students they are trained professionally to serve and inspire.'
