The school is run by a clique of high school mean girls who decided to become teachers. They've…read moreestablish a social hierarchy of students who are accepted into their clique and students who are excluded. They use exclusion and isolation as means of perpetual punishment, so that those outside of their clique are always in trouble, and desperate for their approval. They've established a Kafkaesque system where some students are always guilty of one infraction or another. The infraction is never clear, guilt is assumed, and the means of clearing oneself is impossible to discern. The proceedings against them continue night and day.
If your family holds progressive values, especially if they are young girls, or if you or your children identify as LGBTQ, then the woke, young, predominantly female teachers will immediately accept your children into their social clique. From that moment forward, all of your child's actions will be acceptable, and the teachers will always take their side.
If your family holds traditional values, if your child is a typical boy with energy who enjoys playing sports, or if you believe you may bristle against the abuse of authority of a high school mean girl clique drunk on power, then this school is not for you.
We've hated it here for years. We've been trying to leave California, and we didn't want to change schools before leaving state, and then change again after leaving. We wanted our children to have the stability of being at the same school and having the same friends. We're finally leaving California, so we can be done with this school.
My wife wanted our children to have the best education possible, and was excited when our children got into this school. Our nephews also attend. When the obvious pattern of control, manipulation, and social exclusion by the staff became clear, my wife denied it for years. She explained to me in the middle of the night how she felt, and it echoed what I've been saying all along. Our most recent experience finally convinced her.
My 14 year old was so excited to go on an overnight field trip with his classmates one last time before we move. Last year, he was excluded from all field trips for the second half of the school year as a punishment for calling someone "gay." We assumed his punishment would end with the end of the school year. The field trip was scheduled for Tuesday. Apparently, the teachers communicated to him that he may be disinvited from all field trips this year, too, but they never told that to my wife and me.
At school, he spent the entire day on Monday asking his teachers whether he's allowed to go. They told him over and over again that they hadn't decided yet and needed to have a meeting. On Monday night, after school, they sent my wife an email saying that he was disinvited from the field trip. We had no idea this was even being discussed, or what the justification was. The only reason they gave was, "insubordination." The Maoist Red Guard is heartless. The Cultural Revolution consumes all!
He had his heart set on spending one last night with his friends before moving. Now the mean girls have the pleasure of taking something from him once again, and can indulge in the delicious fruit of self-righteous gloating over the teenage boy they've assigned to the lower social class.
The school is run by cruel and heartless young women whose minds are held captive by the woke virus, who torment children for their socially unacceptable views. Do not trust them with your children.
