Name: Robert Johnson on Mar 27, 2010Comments: It s a crazy idea, an unfortunately the Montessori families in the area have become very selfish in only seeing what they think is good for them, not the whole GOES community. SHAME on all of them! I guess if HISD goes ahead and pushes this through, we can all look forward to the noise/exhaust pollution of the school buses in our once quiet wonderful neighborhood, twice a day, transferring kids from all over the city, since they (Montessori) won't we able to fill the school up with local children. And since the children are not from the local area, I am sure the Montessori program will not have the volunteers needed to keep that program running. I even hear negative comments from many of the Montessori parents, that are against this drastic change. Yet they are scared to speak up in fear that the little "elite" group at the top will eradicate them from program. Come on HISD, give the magnet grant to Garden Oaks Elementary school and let us keep it as is. If the Montessori program does not want local children "traditional program" around, let them find their own school.Flag

Is there NO COMMON SENSE EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT BEFORE EXPLORING RUINING A GREAT (Effective Proven Results) SCHOOL NAMED AFTER THE COMMUNITY! Give Me a Break!Flag

Name: Amadita Rodriguez on Mar 29, 2010Comments: There is ABSOLUTELY no reason why Garden Oaks Elem can't continue to provide both options to parents. If you want enhance our school by bringing Magnet then that's great, but do NOT take away options for our community school. If you want an all Montessori school, you have two empty elementary campuses VERY close by that can serve this purpose!!!Flag

Name: Willie E Woods Jr on Mar 29, 2010Comments: By the very action of the FOM they want to eliminate choices within our community. Like Ed Dealba, I too have heard negitive things about the school, but they came from Montessori parents trying to drive another deversive wedge into the community as a whole to get their way. We are about choice regular or Montessi. Montessori is about choice also, theirs alone. For years there has been a covert operation to get GOES, now at least this elite little group is out in the open, beacuse the same ones speak at each gathering, at lease we know who they are.Flag

Name: Cynthia Walston on Mar 29, 2010Comments: why would you mess with a school that is successful right now, with parents that support the school as it is. If you want a Montessori - start a new one and give the choice - don't change existing kids' programs.Flag

Name: Katherine Morgan on Mar 29, 2010Comments: This is ridiculous to change a school when the MAJORITY of the students are not interested in the Montessori program are now being forced to enter that program if they want to stay at their school. It's good to have choices, but make sure its a choice that people want. If they need to have just one program at the school, then eliminate the Montessori program. If this is an attempt to get federal government dollars, then find another program.Flag

Name: John D Goodman on Mar 29, 2010Comments: The teachings of Maria Montessori left the Garden Oaks Elementary School Montessori Program years ago, which is why I pulled my daughter out of the program some 6 years ago. My 3rd child did not attend GOE because I was fortunate enough to have other options. I have read the Garden Oaks Gazette and talked to a few parents about the proposed 100% Montessori conversion and feel it is an outrage. To remove the option of my neighbor’s children attending traditional classes at our local elementary school is just plain wrong. Maria Montessori would be embarrassed.Flag
