Saturday, November 3, 2018

Horrible. Four years ag when my son started in pre-k the school system seemed to want parent interaction with the school. Now it wants the appearance of parent teacher interaction while they continue to play politics. If a parent asks questions there referred to websites where they see what there child/children are learning but never given upfront answers as to what is going on. Unless your downright rude with teachers and administrators you’ll be dismissed and treated indifferent. Not a good place for families who don’t have roots in the town. Close Quote

Pulaski Elementary School is the perfect place to send your black children if you don't mind them being called racial slurs and intentionally misdiagnosed with learning disorders when they're actually gifted. Most of the teachers are not concerned with academically challenging the students because they use printouts that are found online as teaching/testing tools. The WHITE teachers are allowed to do and say whatever they want because they know their actions has NO consequence hence the racial slurs on a regular basis. The current principal, the white one, is a foul-mouth, uncouth racist who tries to hide is ineptitude by bullying everyone. So again, this is the school where you should enroll your black children if you want them to know what it's like attending school in the Jim Crow era in 2018. Close Quote
