This school isoutragous!!! The 5th grade social studies teacher told my daughter's father that all "12 year old little girls are bitches", and she is a bully who loves to pick on certain students. The so called counilsor, apparently received her degree out of a big box of cereal, and the principal there are no words!!! I am currently awaiting information from Atlanta, as to what my next move should be concerningthis really messed up school.
I plan on removing my kid within 2weeks Close Quote
