[Grovenet] School District Supreme Court Case

[Theresa Carter]

I know how difficult it is to get a solid education for your kids in either a public or private school systems.  I have had mine in both and find that the public schools were actually better for my oldest son than a private school.  I have had my own run in's with the school district regarding him as well. (Irv Nickoli)   They do not like it when you tell them that Oregon State Law requires that you teach to a child's full potential.  I know that isn't too descriptive but when you have brainiac kids who are bored, you know that they come up with some outlandishly crazy fun, to alleviate the boredom.  Distrupting class seems to be the one of choice.  I have tried to guide my own kids because I could see where the problem comes in from the educators point of view too.  Too many kids in a classroom.  There are some teachers even then who can handle even those situations...  I have to say Harah for Eric Larsen because he could give that individual
 attention in his class.  I was so appreciative of the honors and AP courses that were implemented for my second son.  Even then, he found that the system was designed for adolescents and not young adults.     
 
My new question is:  Can the parents who have honors students at NAMS do the same thing since their educational needs are not being met by the school districts decision to drop the honors classes?
