(1 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I am a Mother of three elementary kid's, we moved here from Seminole S.D.. I want to know why my kid's are having such a hard time in Morton School's? They all have good grades! Where are the ethics in this school? Why are they not being inforced? Are we not the parent's of these children , we are supposed to raise our children with love and respect! We are supposed to teach these thing's by our own action's! If they are ignored in the classroom, who will take the blame for uneducated kid's. My kid's feel there is no discipline, favortism, like it's a giant free for all, and most of the kid's have no respect for anyone or their school. My oldest had never been hit, slapped in the face, scratched with pens or wrote on until we moved to this school distict. The other two kid's have had their share of being hit or pushed. They are getting tired of turning the other cheek. When will discipline, respect of other's, any kind of ethics be instilled into the youth of this school? I am trying to raise my kid's into well rounded adult's, who will be able to accomplish far more than I could ever did. I want them to be productive youth and be proud of their school achievment's! PLEASE ,PLEASE , CAN YOU INSTILL SOME KIND OF ETHICS AND DISCIPLINE THAT IS ENFORCED !!!!!! I would love for my kid's to go to school here if things were to improve.
