The principal and teachers run this school like a prison. God forbid your child act like a child- they will do EVERYTHING possible to run them off. The school board needs to step in and evaluate these teachers. They are literally bullying children and getting away with it. I don't care what kind of "test scores" this school has- if they can't handle a child being a child, then they shouldn't be teaching. Close Quote
