There are teachers that should NOT be teachinging. You do not treat the students the way they do. I totally agree with the post before mine.

I have nothing but good things to say about this school. The teachers are highly qualified and my childs teacher Ms. Parkinson is top notch. I was worried about her starting school but seeing how she cares for her students makes me at ease. We need more teachers like her. Thanks
