I graduated from this school years ago. i have many fond memories of the school however there was one teacher who was a bully and picked on students who were having difficulty with assignments or who came from a low income background. she also did the work for several students herself. mrs. stewart if you read this i hope you have grown as a person over the years and i just want to let you know that i am a happy successful person. i hope you treat your other students better than you treated me. and i hope you have resolved all of the issues that would cause you to be so disrespectful to a child. you are a teacher. you have the power to influence a childs education. if a child has a bad experience with you that may make them hate school and maybe even drop out. i will never forget the way you treated me but you didnt win. i did. i wish you peace love and happiness and hope that you are a better person now than you were then. what kind of adult picks on a child anyway.....pretty pathetic dont you think?
