"This school is over the top with rules. They have not started a positive reinforcement program to encourage students to behave. The clip charts are a thing of the past for most schools. Lunch should be a break and students should be allowed to talk, the red cup/green cup to control talking during this time is ridiculous. I also do not agree with my children walking laps at recess. If the children were allowed more time at lunch and recess to express themselves, there would be less behavior issues. My children are so focused only following rules, they are not focusing on more important issues. I feel this school is behind the changes that are happening in other counties. They desperately need to update their policies and try to be more current with the positive changes happening at other schools. This school is more like elementary schools of the 90s, time for some improvement."
