    Staff are bullies

    Staff are all on a power trip and like bullying their students, particularly a certain teacher aid and the principal. I went to this school for six years I remember many instances of them bullying the students, for example one kid lied about not having swim gear and their idea of punishment was to force them to swim at the start of the day while the entire class was forced to watch them do swimming laps alone, the now principal often locked a disabled kid outside for "misbehavinng" and made us watch as he screamed and cried, other times we'd be shamed by being made to stand up infront of everyone while we were yelled at. The staff favourtise the kids who are athletically gifted and give them special treatment. The then teacher, now principal once made us point and laugh at a kid for no reason other than to humiliate them. They often lined up students in what I'd call the desks of shame at the front of class as a mockery for failing tests. They often enjoy humiliating the students and making fun of them, I remember being made fun of for my dancing during jump jam by them. They're nasty toward the disabled. They often said "we aren't a daycare" and yet my entire time there they always had either their own babies or parents baby in class crawling around the classroom while we worked. Not much has changed since I hear from other people who once had their kids attending.
