Your curriculum is absolutely despicable. My child has been in the plainfield school system for one year I have regretted it from the beginning. I have come to the conclusion that your school system is well behind other districts and that you are trying to cram certain lessons down the kids throat not knowing if they are capable of handling the lessons or teachings given
