Altama Elementary was the best school Ever! My fondest childhood memories began here from 1978-1982. My favorite teachers were Mrs. Eula Wells, Ms. Kaye Roberson & Ms. Dottye McClendon....course it was a different time back then. Teachers really cared about a child's academics & well being. There was creativity, parent involvement and most of all we acted like children and were into childish things like -playing outside, Sesame Street, arts & crafts, games,performing in school plays at PTA. The teacher's job is to channel their inner child and make learning fun and inspirational. The parent's job is to show interest, reinforce, volunteer,teach their child good moral values and come to PTA. Take the computers out and of elementary schools and let these kids PLAY and watch Sesame Street and sing songs from the Sound of Music & Mary Poppins!!!!

This is an old school with teachers that are very much set in their ways and are not ready to change with time.My child is not learning very much and is not progressing well in each grade.Students that learn slower are left behind and are not very eager about asking teachers for help because of a lack of encouragement.Teachers have to not always be critical to write bad reports but also good.

I agree with both comments. Teachers do seem to try very hard to teach students. Alot of the parents are not involved so these childen disstract the children who are trying to learn. I also feel the children are not properly supervised and get away with racial commants.
