What people are saying

by a parent
Thursday, April 18, 2019

This school is honestly one of the worst I’ve seen as far as office staff go. The immaturity of the receptionist and the lack of respect they have for parents, never seizes to amaze me. Talking badly about each other, parents and actually telling me that my 5 year old can walk himself to class, after I’ve been doing this for awhile now, just trying to bate me into a verbal argument, which of course worked, as I told this Angie to learn her place! I am the mother not the school! To tell a parent they can’t walk their child to class is proving all the more how schools are trying to take over your rights as a parent and control our children, brainwashing them with the lies, garbage they’ve been telling us for decades! The other receptionist at this particular school was just as rude, so I let her know what I thought as well. These pathetic people are under the illusion that they are somehow better than everyone else because they work in a school that’s located in a town that openly discriminates against minority’s and those who aren’t originally from the area. This town and school are the worst I’ve ever seen and I’d recommend going to any other school over this one! Close Quote
