My experience with Fresno Unified School District was amazing, I was born and raised in Fresno, California therefore that had been my home my whole life before college. I have nothing but appreciation for everyone who helped shape the person that I am today, whether that was a counselor, teacher, coach, adult, or other student, I believe this district truly focused on helping students succeed despite their backgrounds. With that said, I knew that if there was a problem, I could go to the district's office and make my voice be heard knowing that what I had to say would be taking into consideration by the people there. Thank you!
Fresno Unified has its fair share of ups and downs. They engage with their community keeping us up to date on latest events and announcements along with keeping students engaged along with encouraging a successful education. However the district could use some more funding for most of its schools as they lack basic necessities and staff to keep campus clean, up to date, and welcoming. With my experience the district can improve the back round checks on teachers as for many in my years of being within the district have committed great acts of harmful crimes to students. Another major change they could make is advertising and teaching equality and informing students about the inequalities in life and how hurtful words can be on another students race, religion, skin color, wealth, etc. I've had great experiences with the district as they helped me out being bullied and dealing personal issues however the problems outside of my personal relations need great improvement.
Coming from San Francisco Bay Area I am impressed and pleased with my children's learning at Fresno Unified. All I ask is for more encouragement of students to be more resourceful to further push the schools academically and athletically. The AP programs seem good as well. Perhaps other recommendations is to have less standardized tests, start school for the kids at around 9am-9:45am, and less homework.
Less than 30 mins of homework a night is optimal.
Let students get everything they need to get done in school without the added pressures that come with excelling at a subject. Without having to worry about grades and busy-work. Allow students to be able to focus on the true task at hand – learning and growing as a human being. More reading less tests.
