“I must say that the less than stellar reputation of this school is simply wrong. Whenever you mention to someone from the NWI area that your kids go to any of the Merrillville schools they immediately give you a look like "I feel so sorry for you". I have twin boys who are now in 2nd grade here and quite frankly we have not really had any problems beyond the typical "less than perfect teacher", but is there such thing as a "perfect teacher" no, of course not. We have had great outcomes as far as our kids go, they love going to school there and they love their teachers. Frankly, we have been quite impressed the staff and the administration. Our boys come home with an appropriate amount of home work every day. They have an excellent "good behavior" incentive program called Pirate Bucks’ The kids earn play money for good deeds and grades which really motivates them to work hard. Overall our boys are in the very top of their respective classes each year, but I believe that that is not just because of their teachers, but because of a mix of good educators that care and a good dose of parental involvement. My wife and I take some time every night to go over their homework as well as have them read to us almost daily. We also have them work on 400 page workbooks each year throughout the year just to make sure that we're not missing anything. Our boys may not become Rhodes Scholars, but if they do or don't, it will not be because of their elementary school, middle school or high school. I will be a direct result of how much effort they and my wife and I put into it. No school can really make up for bad parenting or lack of a good home environment and unfortunately this part of lake county has its share of students with dysfunctional homes which is a tragedy, but it’s not a fault of the school system, nor is it an excuse for parents to blame someone else for their kids bad grades. Grading a schools worthiness because of some crummy test scores is just ridiculous, if your child is not doing well in school it’s YOUR fault! Look in the mirror and explain to yourself why you don't spend enough time with your kids or why you can’t spend $6 at Costco to get a big workbook to supplement their education. As for the other kids causing our children to get less attention, we work to encourage both of our boys to be leaders among their peers, not to follow the other kids who cause problems. We expect them to make friends with the under privileged kids and show them how to act. It teaches them compassion for others who may not be so blessed, it builds their character and it teaches them how to deal with adversity in public places. I firmly believe that my kids will be better able to function as adults because they learned to deal with all kinds of people from diverse backgrounds, cultures and economic status at such an early age. At the beginning of the year, my wife went to a PTO meeting and only 6 parents showed up! How is that the schools fault? That one statistic is more telling of where the fault lies with our education systems downfall in America than any academic testing for the students of Americas Failed Parenting System. Yes, that is what I said! We have a parenting problem in America, NOT a teaching problem. I'm sure that won’t get me any votes for president, but I'm not running so I will speak the truth. And yes, I would put my kids up against any private school kids and if they didn't perform well, then the fault lies with me. ”
