Both of my children attend PES and I don't have any complaints about their teachers!! I will admit that there is somewhat a discipline issue, however discipline starts at home!!!! If children don't have structure, discipline and routines at home when they start school they will cut up, act out and even bullie others because they get away with it at home.
