No anti-bullying policy actually taking place in this school. If kids are bullying your child you won’t get help from school administration, neither classroom teacher nor principal. Parents of those kids are also ignorant and don’t listen. Principal doesn’t keep his promise to place your child apart from bullies for the next year and states “he is not a psychologist” to talk to a bullies’ parents. Our family had to pay for private school because he didn’t keep his promise and said that “there is nothing can be done at this point”. Even though it was clearly his fault. Absolutely unprofessional and indifferent school staff with few exceptions within teachers. We had to move out of town because of this traumatic experience. Few years later and my child is still not recovered from the psychological damage that was don by his classmates. Shame on you, Roosevelt school! Close Quote
