My schildren were asked to take this survey and both did. If the school board wanted an accurate andRead More fair assesment on what is going on at the school the would have eliminated the students name at the top. How many highschoolers do they really think were going to admit to using alcohol of drugs with their name embossed right on top?

A survey.....A survey with the student's name in on it asking them to admit to illegal activity?????Read More How can school administrators approve this before it was implemented. The trust that students have with their teachers and counselors has been breached and this has turned into a farce. (This reminds me of my fifth grade PE teacher who had me and over 60 of my classmates right certain letters on paper taped on the bathroom wall when someone wrote 4 LETTER WORDS above the urinals. No ones writing matched. Don't figure) Although there are many students that could benefit from counseling or intervention thinking that they would come forward through a piece of paper is....well, not smart. I attended public schools my whole life and never heard of anything like this. I compliment the teachers and counselors at BHS for the outstanding education my child has received. Constitutional rights or not this was just wrong. I support and thank the teacher for conveying this to the students. How many other teachers were put in an ackward position instructing there students to take the survey? How many reviewed this with there department heads and principals? This is being hushed by 101. Administrators and School Board, you need more communication with your teachers and potential implications to students. Very Embarassing....

This entire ordeal has made national news and consequently, the Batavia USD 101 looks ridiculous -Read More at best - downright evil at worst. It was on the Drudge Report and went viral on-line: http://chicagolampoon.blogspot.com/2013/06/batavia-usd-101-educrats-piss-on-us.html Thanks for the info as to the 1 intellectually honest board member, Jon Gaspar - the rest can't really be considered real Americans.
