We, the undersigned citizens, petition the Board of Education of Anne Arundel County, to give top priority to Four Seasons Elementary School in Gambrills, MD, when allocating the funds appropriated for Walls and Partitions by the County Council in the FY 2009 County Budget. An open classroom school since 1974, FSES is long overdue in the County's transition to contained classrooms and these changes would help the children to better focus on the instructional activity in their own class.
I started this because I wanted a quieter place for our kids to learn and I am honestly overwhelmed by how many of you feel the same way. Reading your stories about the distractions in those open classrooms reminds me why this change is so overdue. I am still working on getting a meeting with the board and I will let you know as soon as I hear anything back.

My son goes here and the noise level is just crazy. How are they supposed to learn anything with 4 other classes doing different things 5 feet away? Fix it already.

Its 2014 and these kids still dont have real walls. This is ridiculous for a school in this county.
