The school is racist and really mean to kids. My daughter has been called things that affect her. most of the teachers are mean to her too one of them kicked her out of the bathroom at a dance because she and her friends were being “suspicious” because they were speaking Spanish. something happened to her one day she got in trouble and she got blamed on and they were defending the American kid, they were telling my daughter to shut up and to stop She did nothing. When she came home that day she started balling her eyes out because of that they were yelling at her way to much. the teachers don’t like it when when a person speaks their language. she was in the hallway speaking Spanish and on teacher was clapping going up on all her Business and yelling at her and one more thing the teachers are always in the students business. that isn’t ok. This school really needs to know how to respect people. I am very mad. i feel so bad for my daughter she would not stop crying and she said she was trying to hold it in school
