(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I can not comment on the teachings of this school. I CAN comment on the rude behavior of the office staff when attempting to contact a teacher. I was initially told that there was no such person by that name. They then transferred me to someone else who did not identify herself. When I told her that I was attempting to contact a special education teacher, so rudely said that there was no one there by that name and hung up? Yes, hung up. I called back, was easily transferred and left a message for the person I was looking for. OK. I called back (same number, as I merely hit the redial), got the same rude person (she asked if I was a bill collector! What the?) I told her I was a parent, said that I had just phoned and was transferred appropriately. She said "hold on" (didn't ask me to), and came back on the line to say that there was no one here by that name. If it wasn't for the fact that this is my "home" school and even then. I wouldn't want to call there ever again. Yes, these are people tending to our children.
