(1 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - Kathleen is better then what it was years ago but the students need to learn respect.. thats for sure.. I have seen the students try to run over the VPK kids there...they act like the kids are not there. and they are little and they dont know any better.. so I think that they should have a talk with there students to WATCH OUT FOR THE LITTLE ONES... they can brake something really easy...and the way they talk. using bad words, that should not be used.I think it has come a long way but somethings need to be worked out..
