4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageReview continuedThe teacher that I worked under confided in me that she was not aware of certain IEP calls which I think is not ok. She made kids cry, at times would make them seem incapable. Students with colorful personalities, she would not allow to be themselves. I honestly believe it was just time for her to retire as some of her teaching methods were extremely outdated, or even like a dictator.And when it came to me rather than using my skill set, which my background is a mental health professional and I work with children, she micromanaged me. She was condescending, questioned my methods infront of kids or in private. If she did not like some thing that I was doing she would just completely remove me instead of talk to me about how she would like it done or understand that I might not do things how she does. There was no coming to middle ground. And when I finally got the courage to address how she was speaking to me, another adult, she became abrasive and extremely defensive. It was so bad that one day I left in the middle of the day in tears because of how she was treating me. And to make matters worse when I finally got comfortable expressing my concerns to other staff members. They told me that I was another para Who complained about her and had an extremely miserable time. And the principal did not do anything. After I stood up for myself with the principal and went above the principal to talk to BPS special ed department, she actually removed me from the classroom. For the last month I did not work with any students but instead saw out in the hallway doing ridiculous preparation for the following school year.This review is only to shed light to my experience which was similar to other experiences. Certain black staff members left due to this experience and I think having black professionals in a predominantly black student body is extremely imperative. Coincidentally though we all had the same experience with the principal. I tried to talk to the union about this but there was not much that they could do so I’m hoping that my story will bring some attention .Parent Review1y ago - Holland Elementary School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy daughter just completed her second year at the Mather. After visiting many local schools, we felt confident that the Mather principal and teachers would provide a great environment and a love of learning. We haven't been disappointed! Our daughter participates in art, science, ballet, library, music, and phy ed classes taught by specialized teachers each week. Many community events such as student performances, family potlucks, open house nights, and so on have given us a chance to know teachers and other classmates' families. The staff is warm and enthusiastic. The building is beautiful and historic. We are very happy to find a diverse student body--encompassing many income levels, racial backgrounds, languages, and countries of origin--all learning together.Parent Review10y ago - Trotter Elementary School
