I would agree with the teacher's comment below about putting the children first. My child currently attends this school and he wants to change schools because he said that the children are disrespectful and the teacher's are constantly arguing with the children. I think the parent's of these children

It is a very difficult situation for all because ultimately the children are not learning and time is wasted on behavior issues. I am looking into private school and my child will probably have to repeat a grade. My son knows that he will repeat a grade and he willing to make this sacrifice in order to learn. concerned parent Read less

My child has attended EBMS for four years and I am very pleased with her education. She has been an honer student every year, every quarter and I believe that the teachers really care. It is my belief that if the child showes effort than the teachers are eager to teaach. The problem that I see is

I am a teacher at EBMS and am proud of my school. I have taught for 10 years and the level of commitment by teachers is impressive. We do, however, need to improve in some areas. We need to reinforce discipline and the consequences of breaking rules. We need parental involvement to support students
