I have had a child in this school every year since 2009, and this has been the worst year ever. My son has been bullied by his teacher. His 4th grade teacher, and the dean of students were standing in the office talking about my child out in the open for all to hear. Another parent called to let me know. The new staff is highly unprofessional. They do not keep lines of communication open, and matters that should have been handled privately we're not, they were addressed in front of my child, leaving him feeling very defeated. during PTC with my child present my child was called a lier, told he was a cheater, and that there were things on his permanent record, told that he ruins/takes time from her family because she has to take her work home. She said that he is disrespectful, and doesn't make eye contact when she speaks to him, and that the dean agree (proof they talked about him). I do expect my child to behave, and to be respectful, but he has been through a lot this year at school, and home. He has past trauma, and deals with ADD/ADHD, which makes eye contact hard, and he tends to shut down, but they do not seem to take those things into consideration. Nor do they feel the need to contact me for help. I was just unloaded on all at once. I addressed this with the new principal, and was assured that his teacher would be talked with, and she will be contacting me. NOTHING! my son hates school, and no longer looks forward to going. I used to love this school, but now I am so thankful that this year is almost over, and I will no longer have to deal with my poor kid not wanting to go to school because he feels hated by the adults that should be making him feel safe.
