Woodburn Elementary

My child articulated that the teacher was bullying students and bullying him. I didn't want to believe it. I went online to do some research and be objective about things. In a recent study of 116 teachers from 7 different schools (Twemlow, WebMD), 45% of the teachers reported that they had actively bullied students. Wow! So we began going through the suggested objective questions with our child. We monitored our child's behavior. Our child is articulate and was able to give example after example. We asked for support from the administration and it helped for a time but ultimately it was more than our 10 year old could handle. The teacher's biting sarcasm and public reprimands went beyond the normal scale. We pray this teacher moves to another profession but please make sure to watch your children closely. If the begin to hate school, find reasons to try to stay home, have stomach issue, relay disturbing reactions...take it seriously.

Such an amazing school with great teachers, family activities and community involvement.

Great staff!
