On meeting, days its ether everybody agrees or nothing will happen. I didnt learn anything at this school, and most of it was just wased time doing whatever we wanted to. Everything is up to the students and it puts to much stress on kids. The teachers don't notice when your not there for a day, you dont even have to call in! They also never reply to emails or questions from parents.

East Side Sharks against Poynette played at LaFollette High School. I have done my share of…read moretraveling to different schools but this was my first time here. What was cool was they had 3 football fields next to each other. Each team was practicing on the two outside fields and then moved to the middle field to play their football game. As they played the teams for the next game up were able to practice on the two outside fields. This game was not pretty but it wasn't expected to be. The East Side Sharks are City Street savvy whereas the Poynette kids are country bumpkins. Surprisingly Poynette kept up in the first quarter but it went downhill fast as Poynette player after player were hauled off the field with injuries. One East Side Shark body slammed a Poynette player right in front of me and I thought the kid broke his neck the way he came down and laid there. I heard him say he couldn't move his leg but it turned out to be a knee injury which is bad enough for 7th graders. The only downside to these "practice" football fields is that there were no score boards to tel what quarter it was or the score. I heard one referee state at one point that it was 2 minutes to half time yet it seemed like 20 minutes by the time it got there. But again, with all the injuries the game did move slower. At the end the score was something like 14 to 42 or more. Gotta love those youth football games.

I have high functioning autism and have trouble being in loud spaces, so I tried to ask my case manager to move to a more quiet class, and it took nearly a month just to get that to work out! and don't even get me started on the administ as they do virtually nothing to stop bullying other than "anti-bullying signs" and "please don't bully" messages. at one point, a special needs kid That I knew personally got beaten up to the point where they dislocated their teeth and got suicidal thoughts, and yet when the parent asked to move to a different school, the school administration and district weren't cooperating for weeks until they were bascially forced to do so. I could go on and on, but I'm gonna end it here: don't go to this school if you value your kids mental health. try monona grove or something on the west side instead.
