(1 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - My child was the victim of a group of students that decided to bully him because he was the "new" student at this school which seems to be a pattern for the children which attend Northwood as most student have never gone to another school....they should be taught tolerance of new and different people...this goes for the office staff as well...Smile sometimes and at least give the impression, although it is a false one, that you actually enjoy your job.....
