San Mateo

It is a great school. The faculty and staff are very caring.

When first hearing about the school, you are made to believe that it is an amazing school. However, after years of going there, that is false. From issues with children going to the bathroom to a teacher telling children they are going to hell. There has been multiple occasions of teachers discouraging students that want to set higher goals for themselves. There is no growth with the school such as, no honors classes or chances for scholarships to college. There is no respect of privacy, not even a lock on a bathroom stall. The gossip is the worst part, not only is it the students, but the teachers as well. When faced with the problem of bullying, they punish both the bully and the victim of the bully because "there is no proof of who is telling the truth". When said bullying continues they ignore the issue. The teachers have no respect for the parents or their students. When they talk to the parents they are respectful and nice, but when the parents walk away they start to bad mouth them to another parent or teacher. As for the students, they will compare children to a status of who is a "good kid" and who is a "bad kid" and make the "bad kids" feel less then. Children are made to feel bad about themselves, if they do not fit into this box that they label as perfection. This is no place for any child to go, from there constant barrage of "perfection" to the lack of morals concerning privacy, respect, and bullying.
