Confused?? It is okay to ban books in your schools because you believe they are pornographic, but you post a senior photo with a song lyric that directly promotes the sexual enslavemnent of women by a man on your school district website? Good job, PENNCREST SD!

#1 Student journalists in Pennsylvania are reporting on important school board stories. These four stories chronicle the ongoing issues the Penncrest School Board is embroiled in at this Crawford County school district in northwestern Pennsylvania.
@Mr_Consistent_2 You still are!🙌🏻
Can you deliver when called upon to execute the mission? Sometimes outmatched, but you have attributes that give you a unique advantage! How are you going to attack? Will you have a plan or will you just run out in harms way and not give yourself a chance! I was the CHEETAH! #2

If you want quality education for your children, this is not the way to go. Start treating teachers like professionals and start paying them like professionals and more will stay and more will get education degrees and locenses. Do it this way and kids are always shortchanged.

Kids get it! @KPlows
From a freshman:
"In a time where we crave instant gratification and understanding, trying to explain a complicated situation or idea can be extremely difficult. But through art, it is made more efficient and effective."

@ericlombs They must be discussed together because removing recess as a punishment for not doing HW removes the activity that pumps blood to the brain for better thinking and remembering. We banned the practice in our district because too many kids were not getting needed recess.
The two things you listed have nothing to do with one another. You could have recess every day and small amounts of HW every day. Or you could have no HW and no recess. The 2 are not related, so listing them together is on purpose and misleading

@dashirey93 Visit an elementary child’s home after school until bed time, then you will know that the 20-30 minutes of work a teacher assigns actually becomes 2-3 hours of parent-child struggle may or may not get done depending on if the parent wants to die on that hill that day.
With all due respect, recess (during school hours) and homework (at home hours) are two different things to discuss. Recess hours you would pull from academic time. Homework would pull from playtime. Having an elementary child do 20-30 minutes HOMEwork time is not unreasonable.
