Mr. Black- you obviously read words into my comment. We do not discriminate not do we tolerate prejudice and our children have many good decent friends from East Naples and Lely. The school is the problem, you (I know) are a involved teacher/coach. There are many teachers at this school (not all) that should not be there. Our kids are there to learn and the teachers are responsible for teaching these children. The D rating is due to the lack of discipline and teaching. If the teacher does not care to teach the students (or truly want to be at this school) then the students will not learn and this school will continue to have a D rating and you will hear from more parents, like myself, that expect better for children that have been taught at Marco Charter A rated by involved teachers and parents. You are right! most parents are very involved at Charter we lose that involvment at Lely, we do need to become more involved and I will do my best to start to be more involved in this school. My child and the Marco children deserve a better education and a better environment than Lely at present is offering. Lely needs work, and a high school on Marco just might not be a bad idea. You are an asset to Lely and we are glad that you are there. I know you believe in Lely and it would be nice to see one of the oldest school in Naples get a passing grade.
