Not enough support for children to strengthen learning skills. My child constantly was bullied.

Vesey is a school my mom went to when she was young. I went to Vesey when I was a child. I thought this would be a perfect place for my child to also attend. Well, I was incredibly wrong. Vesey has repeatedly failed to protect my daughter from bullying. They do not notify me when my child's been hurt, only after they've dismissed her back to class, am I informed. More than one occurrence of this and a week after my child was punched in the face by an older student, the staff has done nothing they have said they will do. Making excuses why they were busy and my daughter being physically assaulted wasn't a priority. Setting an example that they tolerate bullying and violence. There seems to be a lack of procedures and policies for these kinds of things. The only person that talked to me about my child being harmed was the nurse. No one from administration. So if you want your kids bullied and punched, with staff that goes days before addressing anything, Vesey is the place for you!

I am a Exceptional Education teacher at Johnson and have worked to develop a program that addresses individual student needs. This year I will be working to incorporate a sensory rich environment for students as well as conduct in-service training for the staff and community. It takes the collaborative efforts of a community to develop a strong educational system. I hope you will joins us in taking an active role in education.
