Although everyone may have their own valid points - I'm a parent of a child that is in the Youngstown City School system. I do agree that you cannot count on the teachers alone for your childs education because it is our responsibillity as a parent to make sure there is communication with both our child and the school. But as this school year has started off, I'm totally frustrated with the system already. My child sits in a room watching a movie because there are no schedules due to "technical difficulties". I'm sorry that is totally unacceptable. Why start these children back early this year when the system isn't even ready for them? Of course last year was chaos for the first three weeks of school also due to schedule changes. I can only give YCS one more year of time for my child and then I'm done with them (if I would've had my way my child would already be out but she wanted to stay one more year with her friends because she knows she's going elsewhere for high school). One more year of frustration and I know my child will the get the education she deserves even if we have to pay for it. I do hope for the sake of the children that remain in the YCS system that it gets turned around and soon.
