The morning teachers standing outside waiting for the students to be dropped off by parents are too busy playing with there phones to help the students out of the cars if there in need of help. I feel the morning drop off system of driving around the parking lot and the students having to jump out before the next car in line pushes you forward is ridiculous. I've had teachers give
me an attitude because we're holding up the line. There has to be a more efficient way about dropping the kids off. Very disappointed. Close Quote
