I was at the school track this morning and was horrified to find the oaks cut down! Who was responsible? Joe Racano

Despite the lack of bullying, and its respectful teachers and other staff, this school has an abysmal campus that is depressing to look at. MBHS unfortunately doesn't put enough emphasis on STEM subjects, and some of the dress codes and other policies are absolutely absurd. Although the students hang around the main quad in groups like cattle, for the most part they are kind.

Everything seemed to be going well with my child at Del Mar until COVID came along and exposed the problems. Firstly, the school is run by the teachers' union. The school district bowed down to all the anti-student and anti-parent policies during COVID like shutting down all in person classes for over a year. Secondly, the administration was either terrified of or unwilling to confront teachers there with unorthodox or rogue teaching and class manament methods, like telling little kids to turn to classmates to resolve conflicts or telling parents to call kids from like the 3rd grade to troubleshoot computer based learning technical problems during their COVID shutdown. As for bullying, my child experienced plenty of it there and when this was brought up to administration and the teacher it was ignored. Horrible place, mean, jaded, disinterested people there, except for a couple of good teachers who have zero say in anything there.
