What people are saying

by a parent
Wednesday, February 28, 2018

Teachers/Staff creat cult-like groups to dominate their grade. They give these kids power and control and allow them to bully other students not in the gang. Maybe politically organized. They don’t like students that are not fitting into their idea of a perfect student. Many parent witnesses this strange behavior. Investigation were done but ultimently was dismissed as this is how they do things. Also if your child is reporting anyone of these ‘special kids’ for bullying, they will find a way to punish them to creat a record. Close Quote
