Friday, November 1, 2019

School is ok overall, however too many dual language students turns the school into two separate schools. with the Dual Language feeling they're entitled, and want everything bent their way. On the other hand parents from the projects are not really involved with the schools SLA and Activities.. Also social issues creeping into the school. school should be a place to learn and not a placed for forced Gender indoctrination Close Quote
