School Reviews
1 10/10/2025
We're new to the state this year and thus far, 3 of our teachers are great, the 4th one... a 3rd grade math teacher who has been dubbed a tough teacher is a bit of a bully. Not once, but multiple times has my child come home crying because his teacher was mean to him. As it sounds, this teacher picks favorites and doesn't like to actually help her students learn if they don't understand something. She retaliates In anger. My child is genuinely afraid of her and for the longest time refused to tell me what was wrong because he was scared she would find out and make matters even worse for them. This is the opposite of how a child should be taught. I will say this though, if it doesn't stop, I will bring it to every news station, every media platform, and to my lawyer. Some teachers shouldn't teach, and she is one of them. I am documenting everything and will be paying close attention.
