My sons teacher is very nice but violence runs like crazy here. I would pick up my son from school and try to teach him violence is not ok. Then I’m hearing other parents tell their kids to beat other kids up that hit them. I spent the whole school year grounding my son because they couldn’t keep the kids under control there. He never has behavior issues anywhere else. The school is a hostile environment. I highly don’t recommend sending your kid here unless they are the biggest baddest kid on the playground. Close Quote
