Dunbar Elementary School

My son has been at Maplewood since kindergarten, and is now in second grade. I have had nothing but great experiences with the teachers and staff. They are very organized and their approach to teaching has really allowed my son to excel. Very clean environment. My son loves the school and teachers that he's had.

N/A

My son teacher hit him with a broom stick an left an marks on him i ask were he get it and he said that the teacher hit him as soon as he said that i went right up to the school the principle said that she was trying to scare him so he can learn and pay attention in class but beating a child to make him learn was not right i did not give anyone permission to lay there hand on my 6 year old son and i took him out as soon as I could the school is ok but hitting and leaving marks on children to make them learn does not work im a teacher myself i believe that we can guide a child to learn but we can't force it a child should succeed on their own no one should force a child by being force to learn the more they won't succeed because a child learn from their mistake an forcing them they will be scared to make the wrong move please i don't won't any other child ending up like mine, its a good school. Having kids working off their level by beating them and forcing them to learn is not a good system i would not want my child in.
