All of the new teachers fresh out of college have done wonders. Only 3 of the older teachers have done great all along. There is a difference

If you offend the child and step all over his self esteem, it's no wonder some kids grow up the way they do. When speaking to the principals (we have had a few) al promise to look into the problem to no avail. Not many extracurricular activities are provided either. Read less
