The faacilities in my experience with school are not aware or paying enough attention to the bullying issues and problems' I has a parent of three children who have attended this school,would not recommend it untill some teacher our more educated on not only bullying and harrasment issues,,,but also the children rights to not be afraid or threaten by there own teachers,Because they dont want others finding out or being aware they cant handle there classroom issues,,,,,
