St Vincent De Paul School

Okay so I was a student at this school, I’m now in 7th grade but at the time I was in 5th. I want to give my opinion considering this school was one of the WORST schools I’ve been to. And I’ve traveled to lots of schools.Okay so I was assigned to the teacher Frankie Jackson. She was ruthless to 5th graders, and made them scared to even answer her in class.She was to strict and didn’t even feel like a teacher, she felt like a boss but a rude one. She was never your friend and she told us that. She was rude to kids that (to my assumption) had ADHD undiagnosed. She never tried to help them really, and if she did know they were diagnosed(which idk if she did) she still didn’t treat them well. It seemed she didn’t understand that they needed a little more help than the other kids.She would snap at the smallest of mistakes and would call students mistakes out in front of the class. She has I think made students cry before to. She once made a boy( who I’m pretty sure had ADHD) go without a chair because he was talking. Which she could have resolved without that type of treatment. She made me want to not go to school in fear of her. I was so horrified of her that I basically went mute in the classroom when she was around. She scared kids so much that they wouldn’t even answer her in class because of fear. She. Instantly told us we were the worst class, that we were terrible. Which I will admit we could be loud, BUT that was because we felt free when she was out of the room. She never treated us like kids, she treated us like adults. I feel like she failed at realizing that we were young and didn’t know everything. We were bound to make mistakes. She put on a whole different version of herself in front of parents. Which is horrifying as well.If you don’t believe me or don’t like me talking about her like this that’s fine. I can’t force you to believe me or like the way I talk about her. But if you were in her class in fifth grade in 2020( I think that’s the right year) and had bad experiences please speak out. Because I know how you feel and I want you to let others know. She was the reason I’m scared to go back to school. And why my anxiety is through the roof now. We were so heavily yelled a lot. And even though it was almost two years ago, this experience still horrifies me. Its probably why yelling scares me. I believe there is more, but I can’t remember much. I would put more but ran out of characters.

The first day my child started as a transfer in October she was made to feel like a burden. The vice principal was rude to her when she was shy. The teacher was rude when I met her. My child made complaints of strange behavior and rude remarks toward the children. My child was bullied daily by the teacher and students. My child was singled out to not participate in a Christmas party because she hadn't been there long enough to meet the teachers requirements for reading points. The teacher made her cut a strap off her boot, ruining them, so she wasnt noisy in class. I transferred her out after Christmas break due to the unfriendly and outrageous rude behavior of the teachers, staff, and children at this school! Her first day back at her old school everyone was excited to have her back, gave her plenty of hugs and love. She refers to Eastside as the "bully school."

Assistant principal as well as other teachers handled a bullying incident TERRIBLY! The child had visible marks and nothing was done ! 0 stars if I could

My little brother has attended Grace Hill Elementary for all of his academic career. He’s had great teachers, such as Ms. Lopez, who created a safe and happy environment for kids to learn and be prepared for the rest of their academic career. Now as a 5th grader, my brother has continuously had his spirit crushed by the staff and his 5th grade teacher. From being told his future will be at “Crossroads” (Learning Center for Troubled Youth) just because he went to the classroom to change into his outside shoes, to only being provided a hot dog bun for lunch because he was in the office all day for throwing a beach ball. For purposefully keeping his baby pictures out of the graduation assembly and claiming they were “lost” (when they clearly weren’t), to sending him to the office all day for things that multiple kids were doing and only reprimanding my brother. I understand that being a teacher is a hard job, but considering a tragedy concerning the wellbeing of a young girl in this school just took place, shouldn’t teachers show the greatest empathy to their students and try to understand them, instead of putting them in a box? Isn’t their goal to create a safe, encouraging, and respectful environment for their students? Build them up?
