Review Buford Elementary School

- Reviewed by a Parent/Guardian on February 20, 2008 (Rating: 1 / 5) Report As Inappropriate
- This school is doing nothing to educate our youth. Instead they are constantly looking for a reason to kick these children out of school, throwing them to the parents and basically saying "We're not dealing with your child and any normal and age appropriate misbehavior and they will now be forced to miss school." STOP! THINK! This school is punishing children by kicking them out of school for a day sometimes two. NO WONDER children are dropping out of school at an early age! They aren't being given a chance to strive and learn from their mistakes! This school is pathetic and ridiculous!
