Austell Elementary School

I have a 5year old 1st year here and Its funny how on sneak a peek day everyone is so friendly and smiling and staff wanting the parents so involved. My son first day I sat in class with him just to get the feel of the other children around him and his teachers and atmosphere. I advise his teacher a head of time the type of mother I am and the time and days I would be at the school. My plan was to sit for the 1st day and 2nd day leave after lunch and 3rd day just come for lunch. The 2nd day I thought the assist principal was coming to introduce herself however I was getting that they only try to allow parents to see there kids for 30 mins. SO instead of hearing my concerns I requested something in writing since I didn't read the policy of the school. She was more worried about the policy than my concern for my son. I understand how other kids want their parents and let the child get adjusted however I don't just people words without getting to know them and the reaction I feel. After my whole day I can say I see why Cobb county policy is 1 hour. I seen so much in a 6 hour day. K teachers more worried about the kids staying on a green squared than having their shoes tie while walking to the lunch room. teachers using their fingers to snap at the kids to get them in order. some k teachers a re too old and sat in their ways to be teaching kids so youthful with energy. I understand letting the kids adjust but there was no need to know list sent home doing registration on what your child should be able to do before K grade. The teachers do not have enough time or patience doing lunch to help the kids correctly pick there items. Its like a buffet. If golden corral advise all children under 10 should be supervise with adult how are 5 years old supposed to know. I spoke with the principal and I advise him I respect the policy and guidelines however another or a school with a 2star did not think things through all the way with 5 & 6 year's old. I have a friend who mother teachers K and the other teacher in her room don't like her to talk to the kids. I can say my feelings for both his teacher also change because clearly there was a problem with me being in my son class and instead of talking to me they waited until I was gone. as a mother and a woman you only get 1 time. But I can say I see my son is learning but I have a GPS on my child and this week I recv a text and a call that after 8/20 parents aren't allowed to walk their kids to their class room. I like to know my child made it to his last location I drop him off at. as a parent there's no much time away from apparent I feel like there should be cameras or 2way mirrors for the k and 1st grade. I can say I am doing my home work now to move my son to Marietta school or private school too many kids to 2 teachers
