Schools should not be engaging students—especially middle school children—in political turmoil. Even though I personally may disagree with the current political climate, I do not believe it is appropriate for schools to encourage or allow children to protest issues they do not fully understand.Education should focus on teaching critical thinking, knowledge, and character—not promoting political bias or pushing the personal views of teachers or administrators. The world already has more than enough conflict; schools should be a place of learning and unity, not a starting point for more division.While the First Amendment protects freedom of speech, children are still developing emotionally and intellectually. Encouraging political protests at such a young age does not mean they truly understand the issues—it often means they are simply repeating what adults around them believe.Schools should educate, not indoctrinate.

We had 2 children go to and excel at Uni in the ‘90’s.The first was The Valadictorian and was accepted to and went to Harvard. Our younger one went to and excelled at Cal/BerkeleyWe never had to worry about our kids and did not spend any $$$ on tutors.Thanks for the Great Education and most appreciative of the Faculty who made it easy for us to be successful parents.

Extremely disappointing experience.This school is completely unprofessional, starting from the principal down to the office staff. The way they treat special needs children is unacceptable — there’s a lack of empathy, understanding, and basic respect. It’s heartbreaking to see how these kids are treated like an inconvenience instead of being supported. Families who expect inclusion and care for their children deserve much better. I truly hope the administration takes this feedback seriously and improves their approach toward special education students.
