My child has attended 5 different schools and this has been the worst education my child has received. My child is doing much better after being pulled out of this school. The teacher was such a bully at the IEP meetings my husband wanted our child immediately pulled from the school. Best decision we ever made. My child’s biggest fear is to have to go back to ELES.

I thought this would be a good article for the school to read: https://www.sociology.org/the-emotional-abuse-of-our-children-teachers-schools-and-the-sanctioned-violence-of-our-modern-institutions/ Close Quote
