What people are saying

by a parent
Monday, November 11, 2019

The communication between parents and teachers is horrible. It seems everyone is there just for a paycheck and NOT because they have a love for children. No one tries to really get to know your childs strengths to help them grow and flourish. It's very sad. My children should be given the best start in life, that includes teachers that would take pride in their work knowing they are helping mold young minds. They would want to work together as a whole school and raise scores by making children excited about learning. They lack compassion and understanding for a child with any learning, social, or emotional issues. They do not go the extra mile in finding ways to help those children overcome issues and empower them. Disheartening as a parent. Close Quote
