I have lived the hell that is to be a different child in this school system. My child has been called terrible names by children with the teachers, administrators and yes even the lunch ladies turning a blind eye towards the abuse. You are a very naive person to think that everything is peaches and cream in the Warren County School system. BTW, thanks for the grammer correction, I am sure you could not wait to point out that someone has made a mistake. Thanks for calling that out....
I don't know about talking to a cousin but I do know that a teacher's mother is vice-chairman of the School Board so if that does not show favoritism or nepotism than I don't know what does. Agreed, she is lucky to have moved on....
Here is what I think is the bottom line on the schools in Shenendoah and Warren counties. The schools take on the personalities of the communities.

I think it's "fair" to say that kids who can not only read, but interpret and act out a Shakespeare play can definitely "read and write." And by the way, schools...
No actually, I'm on point, you're the one who is off base. RJES is fully accredited by the state of Virginia. They won't allow me post links so you'd just have to go to the WCPS website to find the school report card. It is not a perfect school, but they are accredited, based on SOL scores. Yes, there are now AMOs to contend with, that's how the politicians do it. They create standards, the school systems spend tons of resources learning how to jump through hoops, and then they(politicians) create newer (tougher) standards. By the way, teaching assistants are...
