My granddaughter is a special education student at this high school. I feel this school is failing her miserably. They don't provide exceptions for her abilities. They should not be expected to take the same courses as the general students. They need specialized teachers to teach with their abilities.

4 children,3 grand children have graduated from Westville school, and 1 grand child still enrolled. She is in band, my others were involved in all sports, we have been very happy with the school, we feel, it has been a great privilege to have our children enrolled in a school where all have been a name, and not a number. We as a family were also involved ,and were welcomed to do so, by the teachers!

As a result, House democrats have taken up the issue in a new bill that would ban all forms of corporal punishment nationwide.
