I then saw this with my own eyes and it's done very openly. Certain students can use their cell phones when others loose theirs if they even take it out.

Kids in this school are cruel. The staff doesn't seem to notice or care. Academically, my child has gone down since attending this school. Emotionally, she has become withdrawn, and has begun to get into trouble. All in an attempt to 'fit in'. Had I known anything about the area before moving here,
