  • (...) isn't the only mean person in that school from what I hear there are several mean, screaming teachers. The treatment of the children in this school is very old school. I think if they were allowed to they would use a whip. Instead they put students up against walls, have kindergartners walk with their fingers on their lips and hips in the halls.and stand at attention. I shutter to think what goes on behind closed doors. The parents seem to be afraid to report anything in fear their child will be singled out. On the playground you can't even run it's a rule not to. You have to put your head down at quiet time at lunch which leaves little time for these kids to socialize. Yes it's a highly rated school for academics but socially the school leaves a lot to be desired. Don't forget the ugly uniform look which also adds to the Catholic school feel.
