“To be fair, I only have experience with the one classroom and teacher, and have no basis of analysis for the entire school. Ms. Kayam is an excellent teacher. Our daughter`s teacher is hard working and well organized.” This review was posted by a parent.

“According to Shirley Igo, National President of the Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) students should receive no more than 30 min 1 hr of homework for grades 3-5. At Derfelt Elementary it is more like 2-3 hrs a night. Homework is intended to reinforce classroom learning, and help students keep up with their studies. Excessive homework just goes to increase family stress and is counter productive. The well rounded educational curriculum we enjoyed in our youth has since been replaced with a program geared more towards children passing a particular test (so that the school can continue to receive federal funding) rather than providing our children with the skills, knowledge and abilities to succeed in life. I am all for homework but only to the extent that it involves us parents and reinforces what was learned in class without disrupting the family.” This review was posted by a parent.
