What people are saying

by a parent
Wednesday, January 20, 2016

Regarding Special Needs kids, the teachers will COMPLAIN every single day to the parent. Instead of working with their "team" meaning the o.t, speech and counselor, they just bombard the parent about what the child can't do. Such a disgrace and laziness to only want to be a robot and give what's on that piece of paper and nothine extra. Shame on them.
I feel sorry for those passive parents who let the faculty try to bully them into moving them out of the school. If I didn't care so much about my child I would have left him there but I couldn't, knowing they're quitters and just gave up on him WAY TOO FAST. Close Quote
