PLEASE don't send your children to this school. Insist on a transfer to any other school.
My son was originally assigned to this school, and came home telling me about his teacher being stalked/threatened by her boyfriend. After a little bit of investigating, I found out that his teacher (2nd grade) was receiving cell phone calls during class time. The conversations were inappropriate for any child to hear of and the professionality of the teacher had to be questioned.
Understandably, my son was worried that his teacher was going to be hurt because of what the teacher shared with the class. NO child should have to deal with this these kind of issues!
To make matters worse, trying to reason with the teacher was impossible. She refused to keep her private life private.
I thought that speaking with the principal would help resolve this issue, but the principal refused to assist in any way. After the principal refused to speak with the teacher, I insisted on a classroom transfer--no such luck.
I was left with no other choice but to keep my son home until changes could be made. The next morning after my son was absent, I received a call from the principal, threatening me with criminal sanctions for keeping my son out of school!
I had to pay a visit to the school district and file a grievance. I was immediately given a transfer to another school, but I have lost so much respect for this school district. Needless to say, Los Banos Unified will not be educating my child--EVER, nor will they ever receive my vote for increased funding.
IF YOUR CHILD MUST ATTEND THIS SCHOOL AND YOU CANNOT GET A TRANSFER OR AFFORD PRIVATE SCHOOLING, BE SURE TO MAKE MANY UNANNOUNCED VISITS TO THE CLASSROOM. read more
