Sunday, May 16, 2021

Open Quote Stone is a very diverse school with devoted teachers. The families totally support the school and the teachers. The principal inherited the great staff and families be he, himself has no intention of developing staff. He siphons off staff from other schools that have put in the effort and time. He is negative, brutal and lacks empathy. Close Quote
