Old Mill School

Both of my daughters went here and were involved in the German DLI. My oldest started to experience bullying in the 2nd grade and I thought we had it handled. However 2 weeks into the 3rd grade it started back up because they sat the bully right next to her in class. She came home bruised from the hip down to her knee from him stabbing at her with his pencil. And when I took pictures and went to the teacher she tried to dismiss it. She out right said "I can't picture (name omitted) doing that he is just a good kid. I will move your daughter to the back of the line and put her in a different seat in class". I found it ridiculous that the teacher wanted to move my daughter because another student could not keep their hands to them selves. It only got worse from there. My daughter began falling behind and was struggling with tests due to her anxiety at school. By 5th grade she was failing every subject. I tried to get her on a 504 to accommodate her anxiety and the teachers were less than helpful. In the recommendation from the Dr. she was to be given extra time on tests and allowed to sit away from other students. The teachers argued with me about it and then to appease me said they would do what they could. However, nothing happened. And the bullying increased 10 fold to the point my daughter was coming home in tears asking why everyone in her class hates her, and why is she so stupid. I had enough at that point and pulled both of my daughters out to home school. I would never send my children back to that school. And in all honesty it has ruined me for any public school.
