I dont think it is much of teachers and programs that we look at for our children, as an alumni of the Jefferson co-op program in 92-95, I saw the difference in the student body. I took my academic classes at Lincoln, with the exception of math which I took at Jeff as well as my dance classes. The difference of student disruption in my math class and disrespect the student gave an exceptional teacher who was a more than qualified teacher had to put up with!! I DO NOT want my children to have to go through that in order to obtain a basic education.  I don't think the school district can correct what goes on in the classroom.
