Alamance-Burlington School System

Sorry, but I struggle with anxiety and going back to school isn’t for me. One of my family members (not saying his name so he doesn’t sue my family..) is a part of the Board of Education and he actually wanted us to go back to school, even when there is a brand new strand of COVID that could potentially hurt us worse than the original stand did. I’m disappointed in my own family. I also have a horrible teacher in one of my classes and in the same subject last year, my teacher was even worse. She doesn’t care for mental health or the kids well beings. Especially not mine. Please ABSS, let us have no in person learning at least until the next school year. Is there really a point in letting people take the risk? Small children may not be as contagious, but middle school/high school students most certainly are. For anyone reading this review, don’t be surprised when you see the next live school board meeting. All the men and women there just like to talk. They probably have their kids in a private school! I feel sorry for Dr. Benson honestly... smh.

I've been in the alamance burlington school system my while life, and I can say that it's not that great. I've had some great teachers, but the school system in a whole doesn't look out for what's best for thier students. A lot of other county's have gone back to school and have had minimal problems. While alamance county students are sitting at home with thier mental health going down the drain. We need human interaction, and honestly I would rather risk the virus than sit at home for another semester.

very disappointed that they let a year go by with no in person learning. ABSS put politics before the kids.

Alexander wilson (part of abss) is amazing, teachers are loving and kind. Both of my kids have attended this school for 6 years, k-5.... even after remote learning began, they have done all they can to connect and show how much they care for their students! Definitely would recommend this school to anyone who has a child!

Rachel, the EC/Pre-K social worker, has worked with my nephew and was fantastic with him. He is typically very shy and he warmed right up to her. She is great with children!
