The teachers have less time to teach. 

Pace of the class work is too fast for most learners and way too fast for those learning English

The order of the lessons is confusing for the students.

Students learning English are forced to take a lot more tests this year that they can’t read. Those students learning English should have more class time working on the language instead of taking more tests.

If students have too many tests they lose confidence and happiness.

Students should learn to love learning instead of learning to hate tests.

Children in K-5 have two to four teachers instead of just one teacher who understands and bonds with them.  

If children don't like learning and are not encouraged we will have more children dropping out of school.

The children that have learning disabilities suffer when they are made to go from classroom to classroom all day.    

The budget for ESE and ESOL had been cut. How can they expect a school to make progress with less money and resources?

This cost our county more than $27 million. This money could have been used on more books, resources and teachers for our students.

This plan was a rushed effort to get a grant we did not win.

Many of pieces of the new curriculum have flaws and errors.

An 11 year old student with learning disabilities in the ESOL program said “Well, that's my life!” after failing another one of the additional tests this year. This is unacceptable!
