Mark Twain Elementary School

Horrible. I pulled my son out of the district. I couldn't make my child suffer anymore.

Some boys do sexual harassment directly and indirectly to girls. I couldn't believe it in the 4th grade. The school has to deal with it as much as they can at least. This is insane in the 4th grade even at school even today.I was on the phone with the principal about it after I stopped by the school. He sounded like he tried to stop and finish the conversation as soon as possible. I understand he could be busy. But I didn't feel like he tried to have an empathy. I felt like that he sounded like why I kept talking and why I was emotional.I guess I should appreciated him to call me back at least in a formal way.I asked him about meeting with me because I'd like to talk with him in person not just over the phone. But he didn't give me any answer. Yes, no or later? No answer about my question. He sounded like avoiding it. I could ask him again. But I just didn't.I was glad the counselor listened to me and had an empathy. I was able to feel and think of her reactions, tone and words sincerely.I guess talking to the counselor could be better if whatever happens later.Who answered my phone sounded like being annoyed to check when the principal would call me back after I stopped by the school. I just called there only once wondering. That's all.

My children love this school. I love the staff. They have many resources to help kids that might be having trouble.
