If you and your children were not born here,or went to school with the schools staff, they will experience PREJUDICE DISCRIMINATION FAVORITISM stay away from B. E. S. and the people who run it. Most of the teachers are great and do their best given what they have to work with. Watchout for the principal and school board they will always side with their home town people.
