Our 4th year at this school and we have loved every teacher. However, the schools extra staff have been terrible and rude. My child has had the same bully for 3 years and nothing has been done, infact my daughter gets punished for standing up for her self as I will always teach her to do. This year the 4th graders are experiencing a horrible teacher change in the middle of the school year and I was told today that's because she had more of a friend relationship with the kids and the new principal believes it should be more teacher/student relation. That's why I'm making this post. These are elementary kids not high schoolers and I stand against her comment and judgement towards these poor kids.
