My child has been having a very hard time understanding some of the curriculums at this school. I have met with teachers and principles over 5 year period of my child attending Salemwood. And still they have not put their all into helping low income family. I FEEL THIS SCHOOL IS DISCRIMINATING AGAINST MINORITIES. MY CHILD STATES TEACHERS ARE RUDE AND HAVE NO TIME FOR THEIR STUDENTS . LIKE I tell the TEACHERS. Your job is to TEACH my job is to make sure my child is learning. AND MY CHILD IS NOT LEARNING FROM SALEMWOOD AT ALL. THESE TEACHERS NEED TO BE TRAINED WHEN IT COMES TO STUDENTS BE TAUGHT THE DIFFERENCE IN UNDERSTANDING EACH CHILD'S DIFFICULT LEVEL Close Quote
