Maldonado Amelia Elementary School

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

My daughter went to this school. And hated it. Its ran like a military school and the teachers humiliate the children as punishment. Lots of theft that the school does nothing about. Principal needs to be replaced, she runs the school like an army base! Kids are so scared of her they ate afraid to report bullying and theft. Plus the teachers call the kids liars and are cruel. They have a few very good teachers but not very many.

The safety of the children is the least of their concern. Bullying is common here and everyone will look the other way.

We are very happy with our daughter's academic success. We have noticed a positive change in her development. She loves going to school and she loves her teacher.Some parents think that the education of our children is 100% the teacher's responsibility, but it doesn't work that way.Teachers are of great support to us. But it is my responsibility as a parent to teach our daughter not to bother other students. It is my responsibility that my daughter know how to behave in class.It is my responsibility to check my daughter's backpack every day.It is my as well as my daughter's responsibility to comply with homework assignments.A good foundation, respect and education, start at home.We are very grateful to the school for helping us get the best from our daughter. I don't think there are bad schools. I think it's the work of teachers, parents and students working together to obtain the desired academic success.

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.
