They are disorganized and love getting kids in trouble for no reason

I am writing to express concern regarding the classroom environment, communication, and level of support provided to students.My son, who has maintained honor roll status, been recognized as Student of the Month, and has no behavioral issues, has been directly affected by these concerns. Despite his strong academic record, he has not consistently received appropriate structure, guidance, or encouragement in the classroom.There have been repeated instances where students are allowed to use personal phones during instructional time without redirection, which disrupts learning. In my son’s case, the teacher has also repeatedly allowed him to use the teacher’s personal phone during class, which raises concerns about appropriateness, boundaries, and proper classroom supervision.Additionally, my son reported that the teacher made a statement suggesting that students do not have to attend school if they do not want to. This type of messaging is concerning and undermines the importance of attendance and academic responsibility.There was also an issue involving the school’s only field trip, where my son did not receive a permission slip. When this was addressed, the response given was that he “didn’t have to go if he didn’t want to.” This reflects a lack of communication and follow-through, and it resulted in him potentially missing an important educational opportunity.Overall, these concerns suggest inconsistent classroom management, communication issues, and a lack of appropriate support for students, including those who are motivated and performing well academically. I believe students deserve a structured, respectful, and accountable learning environment, and I hope these concerns are reviewed and addressed appropriately.

I was told by the Special Education board that everyone wants to get into this school, but I was literally begging to get out. Front office staff is extremely rude and when I complained to the Principal, she did nothing and allowed the staff to be petty towards me. The kinder autism class is even worse. The teacher is passive aggressive towards the kiddos and has the paraprofessionals doing her work. I had to speak with paraprof every day during pickup to find out how my child was doing in class because the teacher wrote me generic daily reports. The only GOOD thing I can say about the school is they don't allow just anyone to get on campus, so children and staff are safe.
