First, let me start by saying I have two children who attend Ruskin Elementary. No, I’m not gonna say it’s all bad because I know there are some very great teachers there, but there are a few including the principal and assistant principal that just simply don’t care about helping parents resolve issues with teachers. I asked for a meeting with the principal and my son’s teacher regarding her reprimanding him by making him walk during recess because according to her, he was goofing off during learning time. I messaged her and asked that my child not ever do this again, I even suggested other alternatives of punishment. Never did I receive an apology from his teacher. In fact, she tried to lie and say she only made him walk for five minutes, but my child is adamant that he was made to walk the entire recess, which is 20 minutes. To me that is unacceptable. To make matters even worse before I could even tell my child that I had already spoken to his teacher regarding the situation he stops me midsentence, and says he already knew because she asked him what exactly he told me, at that point my child didn’t respond because he was nervous of how she would react to him telling me. After asking her why she did that, she stated that she only asked him what he said to me not why as if that’s to justify what she did. Now they also have a new rule where if your child misses four or more days a semester, they are unable to attend field trips, which is absurd, but understandable because this school’s attendance is horrible, which is why the principle is setting this ridiculous rule now, but what she needs to worry about is the teachers making the students want to attend this school at all !
