Reflection Plan in The Highlands by Beazer Homes

The principal runs this campus like a prison! The kids are only allowed to walk in one direction in the hallway, even if their next class is right across the hall, they have to walk an entire circle which causes them to be tardy quite often especially if they have to use the bathroom. There are restroom guards during lunch period and if too many kids are in the bathroom they are not allowed to go, which means now they have to go back to class and hope for their teachers Grace to allow him to use the restroom without marking them tardy. A basic human need is being denied. Lockers are working and existing but the kids aren’t allowed to use them ever since Covid happened, now their backpacks are stuffed to the rim with books and folders and weighing amounts that no kid should carry around all day. Kids are also not allowed to sit with their friends during lunch, seats are assigned. So the only time they are allowed to talk and socialize in their school day is now also being taken away. I don’t see how learning is encouraged in the school, or how learning and fun is being combined. White Oaks priority is not the kids, the priority is how to run an entire school with as little work and effort as possible. The convenience of the principal is the law. The said principal has a reputation of such behavior since she ran an elementary school the same exact way. The uproar of the parents finally became so big, the district moved her to white oak where her obsessive behavior continues. New Caney ISD continues to look away.

If your child is sped with behavioral issues, PLEASE RUN. Six hours to register just to be pestered they STILL need documents. Three weeks to get a bus route. I have attendance harassing me because they mark him absence when he's not in regular classes. Provided a 40 page IEP that they clearly don't go over. No real program to help children with these needs. Also will make you feel like you're at fault. Worst experience I've ever had with a school and have left me feeling hopeless about my sons future.

I enjoyed the experience in this school and I am still enjoying, the teachers always help to the students when they need help and in case you have any problem with homeworks or etc, you can always contact to the teacher via email and he/she always helps you. It is a very good school, it deserves more
