I was very vocal and involved with my kids teachers. Not only was they learning ONLY from school but home as well. Like it should be. But when a incident came up with one of my kids and other student I felt like it was handled very wrong. So I started not to trust the teacher anymore. As with my other child once I started asking questions about certain things my child would get in trouble/time out for no one could really ever give me a REAL reason. So kinda started feeling a certain type way about them as well. But they enjoyed school and made best friends can I not fully against the school but I am kinda glad they not going there this year
