Educationally I would rate this school 4. I would rate it 100/5 if the staff smiles more often and acts more affectionately.
Emotionally I would give it 1. They forget that this is still an elementary school with preschool, transitional kidergarten, and kindergarten,... Kids these ages are still very week physically, and emotionally and still need to be active and cherished and sensed that they are in a warm welcoming environment. Weather starts to be cold, they still have the kids eat outside. Other schools already have kids eat year round in the warm cozy MPR.
Fruit is not cut into pieces, how can you expect small kids peel off oranges by themselves. Even they have meal staff that is willing to help the kids but it is also too much if the staff have to peel 10 or 20 oranges in 15 minutes while still have to run around helping so many other needs. Kids get unmotivated from hard to handle fruit and they just throw the fruit into the trash. If kids try to peel off oranges, they may break their nail, have the juice flies into their eye and burns their eyes. Even we as the adults go out to picnic or any catering, the fruit at least the oranges are cut into pieces.
Only the principal and the office manager and a few number of good hearted professional teachers smile often and sweetly communicate with parents and kids. Mostly it has a very cold feeling with no smiles and stressful faces, and cold voices. Kids beside good education still need to feel cared, loved, paid attention, talked to sweetly and proffesioanally so their brain can be nurtured with good manners and they can trust that they are in a good place. We have to related this school to robot school since we feel no love and the environment is so stressful.
There are staff that don't even initiate hello, goodbye and worse even ignore when parents say hello or goodbye to them. We just give them a benefit of doubt that they don't have good listening or communication skills. It will be much better if the wordfs "hi, thank you, goodbye, sorry we can't do this but thanks for your advice,..." accompanied with smiling faces.
If these can change we would rate this school 100/5. We just feel bad that this school has super good educational tools but still lacks of that warm heart feeling and cared for the kids. read more
