Nayaug School is a Community of Clicks.
This is not a school community where every student feels safe, connected, understood, and supported. This is also an environment that does not foster health, intellectual curiosity, appropriate risk-taking, and personal growth. Teachers that live local are to afraid to take a stand when bulling occurs in the classroom. The kids who's moms that head the pto and are the president of the pool clubs are getting away with whatever they want because the teachers are evidently afraid of upseting the parents who they see in the summer by the pool.
