Porterdale Elementary School
V Duncan: porterdale have some wonderfull teachers,but i do find that too much time is spent writing in the students agenda complaing about petty things like putting up hands while the teacher is talking, reach to pick up his pencil, and did not sit in his seat properly. I believe that some of the teachers realy need more training on how to deal with young children.
