What people are saying

by a parent
Friday, February 5, 2021

The administration has no idea what they are doing. Everytime I call them about an issue they question me and act like I am in the wrong. I am the parent it should be my decision what name my student is called, what clubs he is allowed to be part of, and what conversations I believe to be appropriate for him to be apart of. The staff of this school is more worried about being p.c. then the concerns of the parents. I feel like my students self awareness of who he is is being altered by a staff that is too overly expressive about "what all he could be". I agree we should all have the right to be who we feel we are (gender, sexual preference, etc.) but middle school age is confusing enough without all the extra input from outside sources. I feel like this school will not listen to me as a parent and I am tried of hearing "I understand but we have to follow the wishes of the student". Excuse me?! When did my child become your decision? I'm done trying to talk to these people, I'm moving to put my student in 4J where education is about education. Close Quote
