I am a parent of a child with special needs and i feel like the teachers would perfer parents just shake there heads yes to everything and not try to help them understand their childs special needs.

I have a child that attends Southwestern Elementary. I feel the school is a well ran school with a staff filled with teachers who believe in their students. Southwestern was recently recognized by the State of Georgia with a 'Silver Award' for Highest Gains on the CRCT. Keep up the good work Southwestern.

Not only am I a parent of a child who attends Southwestern Elementary, I am also a teacher within the school. To hear a parent complain about the students being 'uncontrollable' is appalling to me being that discipline should begin at home. Yes, some teachers 'control' students better than others but parents must also learn to step up and do their job and teach their children how to behave appropriately now matter where they may be. The educational system would be much better in all parts of the world if ALL parents would take the time to help their child's school and teachers by working together as a team. However, this is not the case. Unfortunately, teachers and other school officials have become the ones that end of having to teach the majority of today's children about values, morals, and obedience. We can't do it all! We need parental support also!

My son goes to Southwestern Elementary School. I think that it can do better with discipline in the school. The students are very unruly. The teachers doesn't seem to care that the students are also rude to the parents as well as the teachers. The receptionist in the front office does not do her job properly. When you go into the office, she acts as though she doesn't want to help you. She takes her time when she does help you. I will be glad when my son is done with this school. If I had a choice, my son would go to another school but we don't have many choices here.
