No, Class sizes are too big, staff is depressed, oppressed and your specialists and interventionists are being cut, yet
band and Spanish continue to be maintained and expanded rather than downsized. The message is that band and
Spanish are more important than reading and math? Plus the administration and the board act so unprofessional
and embarrassing as evidenced by the newspapers!
5/16/2013 9:48 PM
yes, we have lots of dedicated teachers that work very hard for the benefit of our students
5/16/2013 9:45 PM
I would have said yes to this prior to this school year but now no
5/16/2013 3:19 PM
yes- for the academics, but no for “fun”- our district does not encourage “fun” for the kids or staff…..it is too focused
on academics and not enough on community building for the kids and staff
5/16/2013 9’40 AM
yes, I feel the teachers are still very good

Now yes, 3 years from now no. The long term effects of the board’s/administration’s decisions will have a long term
impact on students and the community.
5/15/2013 9:08 PM
Yes because of the teachers

5/15/2013 9:20 AM
YES! I believe that the dedication of the teachers in this district is what make WGSD a top notch school for the
education of children. I am fearful that the climate here will drive out some of our great teachers and then the quality
of education will drop off.

Yes, however I would be sure to not only stress dedicated teachers, rigorous curriculum but also the great importance put on testing/test scores
5/13/2013 9:35 PM
It would depend on which school the child would be able to attend
5/13/2013 6:35 PM
Depends on which building.

Not sure. The teachers are AMAZINGLY qualified and do a great job however, if I was a parent I wouldn’t want my
child to go to a school where teachers couldn’t have any fun and were unhappy. How can your child be treated as #1
when teachers aren’t

Yes. I still feel that we have an excellent teaching staff. It’s the teaching staff that makes working in this district
worthwhile.

Yes, the teachers and schools are great, but administration and school board need to shift how they operate or they
will bring down the district and the wonderful reputation it has.
5/9/2013 9:00 PM
Yes. The teachers are wonderful for the most part.

No, too much at stake. Great teachers don’t stay when they do not trust or respect admin, and the board
5/8/2013 8:14PM
I always have been an advocate for our district, but with the current atmosphere I might also warn a parent of the
tense political conflicts between WGSD and neighboring districts
5/8/2013 7:15PM
Yes
5/8/20135:31 PM
Teachers are magnificent in WGSD, but students are viewed as just test scores

1. No. Too much emphasis on testing and not enough on the whole child. Also, hate one-on-one at Fox River -should be done in moderation.
2. No
3. No
4. Yes
5. Yes
6. Yes
7. Undecided
8. I believe WGSD offers a lot of great things to a student… but you also need your teachers to be not fear their jobs to be better teachers. The class sizes are getting bigger and bigger again… that is not good for any student learning when so much is expected of students these days when it comes to testing!
9. Yes – we have dedicated, strong teachers
