Open Quote Our experience with the school teacher has not been good. The class teacher of my child was very very partial and disceiminating. She knew that our child has been longing to become a star student in the class before she was moving to another state. We had given her verbal notice that we will be moving after 6 weeks so we requested her to consider making our child star student. Couple of weeks passed and nothing happened. We gave a written notice to the school that we will be moving after 4 weeks. We waited till the last week and the teacher didn't make our child star student. Our child used to weep the whole night every Friday (every Friday star student is declared for next week) . Even after moving to another state our child still cries about not being made star student in Sedgwick. I wish what happened to our child should never happen to any other child. Close Quote
