This place sucks and very VERY horrible

Betty Bancroft was extremely rude through the experience of getting our child registered for Kindergarden.

Very bad drug problem tolerated by a culture of denial and dereliction of duty by those “educators” etc. who claim this is a “family problem” not a school one. Drug dealers roam the halls and bathrooms, “family problem”. Kids are high on government property, “family problem”. Kids aren’t learning, “f.p.”, and on and on. Really? Since when? The minute kids step foot on school property, it IS the school’s problem.Why does Westfield allow drugs on their campus? Isn’t there an SRO and security employed to keep drugs off campus? Parents have every right to demand they do their job. Bring the K9 team in every once in a while. Drugs found, off to juvenile they go to call their parents. Then the school and parent can work out a plan, together, when the kid comes back after suspension. None of this, let’s look the other way or have a little nice chat and be friends with these kids. How about the school set a good example and do their job? Speaking of which, the best teachers aren’t necessarily the ones who have been there the longest. They are the ones who can influence kids to want to learn. Give them a reason to learn with positive motivation and support. I don’t understand how a teacher or staff could ever say that a student involved with drugs is not a school problem, but just a family problem when that student spends so much time in a seat looking at teachers. Teachers have the privilege of connecting with those students who come from homes with minor issues to those with major ones. The talented teachers will understand the importance of reaching out to both and how the way they interact with their students may one day be the difference between kids leading healthy, happy lives and those who may not make it at all. If a teacher doesn’t believe that every kid deserves that chance, then maybe it’s time for them to retire.
