Durham, Creedmoor, NC 27522

I sent three of my children to Creedmoor Elementary. This is a terrible school in the area. The school was okay when we came in 2006 but it got worse after the first two good principals left. One of my children got hit in the head by a rock from another student at recess. The same child told me about teachers who swore at the children in class. One of the worst teachers was also one of the most awarded. This teacher went from fifth grade to kindergarten and traumatized my son who loved school. He became afraid of this teacher. It was awful. My first two children, now seventeen and twenty-one, made it through, but I had to take my youngest who is now ten out after second grade. That year was bad. There was no homework. The teacher was very harsh with him because he had a vivid imagination and she thought he was “delayed” or autistic without any testing or proof. She ignored the impact of Covid-19 and the school’s poor learning methods during that time. I could say more about the bullying from students and teachers, but the fact that the school is closing down says it all. Pay attention to who is teaching your children because they only have one childhood. We can move on, but they remember and are shaped by these things.
