(2 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - There is an unpredictable teacher. he tells the students one thing and does another. my daughter came to talk to him about make-up time and he said ''it's not his problem'' cause she didn't get it done in time. and yelling and rolling his eyes at my daughter. hello i thought that this was a good school, the teachers are wonderful. they've helped my daughter every way possible. thank you teachers.
