Hudson Elementary likes to show itself as this amazing school, but my experience wasn’t like that at all. For instance, I was in trouble for a comment about my stuffed animals - something I didn’t understand was incorrect - while another student said something much worse - “she will regret being born” - and the counselor said “I know you’re mad.” That’s ridiculous.They also boast a lot about how much they “support” their students who have autism, ADHD, or other disabilities. However, most of the staff does not care for the students who have those conditions themselves. For instance, staff members have told me and other students “don’t cry” or “don’t interact with him/her because he/she is not listening.” One staff member even told me “shame on you” every time I didn’t follow an instruction. Staff members have also mocked other students with disabilities - something extremely disappointing to hear from the people who are supposed to care for those students. Overall, despite their bragging rights as one of the top-tier schools in the district, I had the same issues as every other school in the area. Nothing about Hudson Elementary lives up to what they say about the school. The difference between what they say about themselves as a school versus how they act and treat their students - especially those with autism or other disabilities - is significant. Students deserve to be treated better at schools than what Hudson Elementary offers for those with neurodivergent conditions.
