Great news for CHS, Great first step in upgrading the use of technology in Clinton Schools. Appreciate them doing a pilot program first. Hope it grows in the future.
That is great for the High School students. Sadly the Elementary students don't have Math books this year. I am not saying one is more or less important than the other just saying it is a sad situation. 28 fourth graders in a classroom, but we have Middle School sports. Tough choices. I don't agree with all of the decisions that were made, but I wouldn't want to be the person who had to make the decisions either.
Yes shortage of books in 4th grade I also have experienced, Not enough science books either. Also have experienced this in other grade levels too in the middle school. Sad but have to question why the books they have don't get repaired, and why we have not watched this over the years and bought books in small amounts, replacement ones. Then the cost would not have been so much all at once. I also a couple of years back, helped out by purchasing literature books for a class when the teacher told me they were short 6 books. So this issue is not new.
This is a superb opportunity for the Clinton High School and the district as a whole. The teachers, administrators, and superintendent should be applauded for thinking about the future and reaching the students! Congratulations

DeleteMy 7th grader is still waiting for a science book. One month into the school year.
