You have a teacher/teachers that bully/harrass your child and nothing is done. My daughter teacher stood in her face and compared her to a friend since elementary school that was sitting right beside her. I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND THIS SCHOOL UNLESS THEY CHANGE THE WAY THEY INVESTIGATE A TEACHER WRONG BEHAVIOR Close Quote
