I do notice that the teachers are full of solutions. Unfotunately, the follow through is horrible. They say they want you involved and when you are they don't hold up their end of the deal. What is the use of me taking time off work(without pay) to meet and find solutions to help my child succeed and the ball is dropped on our family. Now I will have a child that will fail a couple of classes because my child and I tried to do what was right and got no results from the teachers. All I can say is thanks a lot. It isn't their future in the wings. You just keep teaching according what will help make the school look good for the WASL testing. That is all that matters to this school. Oh, and the sports department.
The Ferndale school district is so undesireable that we opted to have our children transfer to Meridian, which is a much smaller, less wealthy district. But it's a district that is very superior in the social developemental areas. This should be taken very seriously by prospective students and parents. We had four children start in Ferndale and struggled and then when moved to Meridian they found themselves and prospered and are very successful adults.
Our experience with Ferndale Schools has been all over the board. I can say it can only take one bad, undedicated, unbending and down right mean spirited educator with their own adgenda to throw a family into turmoil! We just about lost one of our children in the shcool system because of this. Because we fought so hard for our child he/she and our family made it through the year. This year is much better because of two extremely dedicated, caring and thoughtful teachers. We are very thankful for these teachers and any teacher like them. As a whole, by talking with other parents, that the kids are sliding through because of lax attitudes and lack of comminitment. This is a shame for our children since this is the profession that these men and women have chosen as their lifes career path.
