Kindergarten mom : The teacher shows noconcern for the students it seems to me rom sitting in the 1st few days just teaching to be teaching. Not passinate comes very strong to her class for groups of 5-6 yrs. of age.People have to understand that everyone in the world will not teach bad behavior to there child. My daughter is very well spoken to as well as having manors. This is not the school to send your child. Kids also need RESPECT. form teachers they tell all. GET OUT WHY YOU CAN!!!!
