As someone who is now older and an alumni of this school, I have some reflections that I would like…read moreto share. They made us walk laps during recess, and the entire class was punished for a few students' mistakes. The teachers were racist and frequently accused minority students of doing things they didn't do. As an Asian student, I felt teachers targeted me because I was Asian and got mad at me for every small mistake I made. For example, I was made to sit alone when I dropped a pencil on the floor in first grade. This was humiliating and racist because none of the other students were punished for such a thing before, and they frequently yelled at myself and Asian students for things they didn't do, some I am not comfortable sharing because teachers made baseless accusations towards students like me. Based on this, I feel my civil rights were not respected at this school. The teachers' attitude impacted all students, and all students were frequently punished for actions they didn't do or a minority of the class had done. The teachers don't care about students' mental health at all. Both the racism and the lack of regard for elementary schoolers' mental health is consistent with a few other reviews here. They also had silent lunches and they didn't let students talk during lunch for periods of time or you'd have silent lunch and sit alone, which was humiliating for those who got it because they'd have to sit alone while everyone else was talking. If you didn't call a staff member ma'am or sir, they would yell at you. This school should be investigated for how they are treating, and especially how they have treated their students in the past. I have a friend who visited this school a few years back as an alum and saw teachers yelling at students. This was a habitual culture at May Howard Elementary. Consider enrolling your children at another school with teachers with the mental health capabilities to properly interact with them.
