My current experience has been one of teachers with attitudes with the parents. Also, they discourage siblings hugging at lunchtime for their “safety.” My youngest child reported to me that a substitute teacher yelled at them and told me, “she was scary.” My oldest daughter told me the librarian wouldn’t let the kids go to the bathroom. All of the children were frustrated with one in particular going to the principals office to complain. The attitude of one of the coaches and some of the staff is that off annoyance with both students and parents that question them.It’s important to work closely with parents, to encourage normal psychosocial development. Instead, it’s more of a sterile setting with kids being given orders and expected to follow them without question. My daughter told me that part of her curriculum taught the kids that eating bugs was good. One of her questions said, “will you eat bugs?” To which she wrote, “no, I don’t want to eat 100 bugs!”The upside is that my children’s main teachers are truly kind and caring people. The special education teachers enjoy their students. Unfortunately, some teachers are catty and disrespectful to both students and their parents. Do not be surprised when they gossip about you in the lunchroom as they did me. It’s unprofessional, not to mention unnecessary. When I brought my concerns to one of the from office personnel, I was met with the rebuttal of, “I’ve never heard anything,” (referring to my daughter who said her substitute teacher was scary) and, “we don’t know any the kids getting up and hugging siblings so they stay in their seats, it’s a safety issue,” referring to my children being told they can’t hug each other.There’s a common statement I’ve heard from multiple teachers in this school and that’s, “it’s for their safety.” It’s truly not. Parents are capable of being involved in their children’s education and psychosocial development and should be a key part of their children’s education. My children are safe at home, I’m finding that they experience more hardship from some teachers and occasionally students at this school. I want to transfer them out at this point.
