I hate to have to do this but it is time. The County provides each child with the resources they need to excel if the parents are disciplined enough to make their children do the work. My problem with MAES is that a lot of poor behavior is swept under the rug and children are being CONSTANTLY bullied by other children. My son had the worst experience in Kindergarten and it is already starting again. They know who the children are but it's a long process when it comes to having true action taken. Too many passes are given when you look a certain way. It's shameful. People always have something smart to say about inner city kids but the truth is the suburb kids are no better. They throw tantrums, strike other kids etc. and their parents are never held accountable as they should be. It's easy to say this is an awesome school but everyone has a different definition for that word. Awesome compared to what? You can tell the teachers are tired and under supported and the parents are tapped out at home because there are constant issues with bullying by these bratty children. The day we move will be the happiest day of my life. The same problem I had with a child last year (a couple months ago) another mom is having with that same child striking her child now. But again, when you look a certain way you're given pass after pass.

This school has lost several children across multiple families and have put the wrong kids into the wrong car during pickup along with completely losing track of kids. I thought we had an isolated incident of the school not knowing where our child was for pickup but we have found out it has happened several times through this school year alone. It seems to be a systemic problem. I would highly suggest trying to go to a different school.
