GreatSchools Rating
Parent Rating Average
Mi hijo cursa actualmente el 3 grado, a asistido a esta escuela desde el primer grado, cada año escolar la fatiga emocional y la ansiedad llenan nuestro hogar, en esta escuela no se preocupan por la salud mental ni el bienestar emocional de los estudiantes, los profesores son incapaces de mantener un ambiente alentador y desarrollar a los estudiantes según sus características individuales. Es una escuela sin sentido a la creatividad y la expresión personal, los niños son tratados como números y pretenden igualarlos a todos según sus propias necesidades para manipularlos mejor. Los niños con propias cualidades y diferencias son reprimidos y acusados constantemente de quebrantar las regalas de la escuela sin darle la oportunidad de tener luz propia. Cómo madre me han hecho sentir que mi hijo es lo peor del planeta y que no tengo ningún derecho sobre el, es como una prisión, con muros impenetrables y reglas ortodoxas que solo ellos deciden. Y me han dejado claro, la dirección de la escuela que si es nuestro deseo el retirar nuestro hijo de la institución tendría que dejar mi hogar, puesto que es la escuela designada por la dirección del domicilio. Han sido 3 años muy frustrantes para toda nuestra familia.
