I went to Bankston when it was 1st-8th. Yes, many many years ago. Things have changed tremendously since then, teachers now don't seem to care as much or maybe the pressure of trying to maintain their level 5 status. I feel that the kids are not getting what they really should in an education. In my opinion, they don't really care about whether the kids are truly mastering what they should be. To me, the focus is on being a blue ribbon school and maintain the highest level. Don't get me wrong, they are striving for the best but at what cost of the child. This is only one parent opinion only and I am entitled to that.
