What people are saying

by a parent
Tuesday, November 19, 2013

Some of the personnel in the office seem to have a God complex. They seem to think that they can boss everyone around and make the students do as they see fit even directly in front of the parent who is telling the child differently. Someone needs to get in there and do some evaluations and maybe secretly watch how the so called adults in that school act with the children. You do NOT treat a sick child the way the people at that school do. Close Quote
