Schools Clark County Public

Kitty Ward Elementary had some great teachers!!! The Cayer’s for two!!! The administration there is horrible and runs off good teachers and good pârents!!! #thank goodness only two years left

My son goes to this elementary and so far its ok. His teacher is nice and speaks to the children well. I like his classroom, and how they FINALLY covered the childrens play area (which is in a separate fenced in area than the others) I wasnt too enthused when I asked her a question and her response was «he should have told you» OK, my son is 5 years old and doesnt talk much… YOU need to tell me. Kids forget things in a second, so perhaps you should make a note?
*THIS IS NOT ABOUT THE SCHOOL ITSELF*
What I was not pleased with is that if you live in a nicer area your child is not eligible for FREE all day kinder. Now I know in rougher areas kids need all the help they can get, but what about us poor people living in nice areas? What are our children? Chopped liver?
I was upset when they said, we do offer all day BUT its 300 $ per month! 300?! Are you kidding me?! I’m a single mom living off unemployment, I cant even afford the place I’m living in and you want me to pay that? What sucks is that I moved out of the ghetto so my child could have a better education and this is how I get repaid. 2 and a half lousy hours at school! What ppl dont understand is that kindergarten in just as important as sixth grade! This is your childs start, little peoples brains are a sponge right now and its pertinent that we educate them early so they dont end up on the streets uneducated!
I love how they tell me, well if you work with your child he will develop. Yea I can work with him, but what about his social skills? What about child interaction and the different environment the school gives him? Nevada is def a** backwards with its education system! No wonder our test scores are in the toilet! They care more about whose gonna make the next 100,000 rather than our little children who WE are going to need to support us when WE are elderly!
In Colorado my son was 3 and attended 4 day pre-​kinder ALL DAY! AND IT WAS FREE! I also think the whole «if you live less than 2 miles from the school we will not transport you» is a crock of s***, we live 1 mile and have no problem walking, BUT IN 100+ Degrees?!! My son was not doing too well the first day after having to be in the heat. I feel bad. Yea its only a mile away, but kids get hotter quicker than adults. Our bodies can endure the extreme heat, theirs cant. Luckily I found a POS on CL for 350 $, it runs, has no AC, and is rollin on a donut but it gets him there semi-​safe.
I hope Clark County takes a closer look at our educational system and the budget. Otherwise back to Colorado I go! LOL, not really though :)
