Beebe graduated 1 of my daughters and she can not spell. Beebe graduated another child of mine, and he can not read. What the heck is going on? The ratio is 24 kids to 1 teacher, they DO NOT have the time nor the ambition to teach our children correctly and with patients. Also, they allow the African Americans all the freedom to run the school but if your white you do not have a chance to learn your heritage, they will expel you call you racist and send you away like your nothing. They are snooty and snobby, and half of the facility should not be teaching. That goes for the high school principals and secretaries that do not do their job and gossip about other women.
