Hello, I'm a former 7th grader (now going into 8th grade soon) and I want to address some things…read morethat I've experienced. I don't wanna sound mean or be a Negative Nancy, but I'm just leaving some constructive criticism. Be warned, this review isn't for the faint of heart and It's serious. First of all, let's talk about the teachers. If you're an incoming 7th grader, just wish you don't get Mrs. Fiske, She's very strict and picks out popsicle sticks with students names on them if people don't answer her question. I thought we left the popsicle sticks in elementary? Anyways, here are some of the best teachers I recommend that you wish you could get for your schedule, Mr. Hansen is a very kind, understanding, and has comical humor for a substitute teacher for PE. Ms. Drutz is also kind and is a science teacher, but she got mad at me for something harmless. Second of all, let's talk about some of the things about this school that should be worked on. Taylor has a no phone rule now. "The expectation at Taylor is that all cell phones and smart devices are turned off and put away at 8:30 AM and can be turned back on at dismissal. Many students are very successful in meeting that expectation. Bullying in any form is not tolerated". Teachers are allowed to use their phones, and I see them use their phones, but students are not allowed to? and I still see students getting bullied even though "Bullying in any form is not tolerated"? that's pretty hypocritical, smh. The teachers, principals, and vice principals don't do anything about the bullying. They're blind as bats when it comes to bullying, but they have 20/20 vision and x-ray vision when they see a student on their phone. In essence, this school needs to do better and all they care about is phones.

My grandson attended Taylor for three years. All the time he was there he experienced bullying and…read morewas taunted in the classroom by other students with no staff intervention, until it became physical. There were multiple incidents of fighting over the years, but this last month he was jumped by a gang of students. While there may be a few caring teachers and staff; it isn't enough to negate the bullying and fights. Nor the lack of interest in a students well being. A few weeks ago he was harassed by a teacher. She pulled him out of class (she's not even his teacher) on two different occasions because she heard a rumor and wanted to ask him about it. During the discussions she actually made offensive, accusatory remarks to him. Her antagonism escalated when she decided to slander him in front of other students telling them to stay away from him because he was weird. As he walked away from her, she actually flipped him off with both hands. It was so hostile and abusive, another student reported it to staff and urged him to as well. Another observation is in learning and development. Following Covid; many children struggled when they got back to school and grades are low for some. Schools should focus on education and grades. There isn't any support or concern at all on grades. My grandson wasn't safe there; physically or emotionally and we struggled taking him there everyday and trusting them with his care. The only reason he wasn't pulled out was because it was the last month of school and we did not want it to impact his graduation. To date we are not aware of any actions taken regarding the teacher.

Go Vikings! I…read moregraduated from Mills High School and was one of the few (2-4) Asian girls in the Class of '68. My father was George Yin-Shou Che, who served as General Consul of the Republic of China in the Bay Area from 1961-1968. Later, the Republic of China was referred to as Taiwan, when the People's Republic of China (Mainland) bumped Taiwan out of the UN. I remember my 4 years at Mills High School with great fondness. Though I was always in the minority - e.g., my Latin class had 25 white boys and 1 Chinese girl (me) - I never felt isolated or alone since my 5 close girlfriends were independent thinkers who focused on the wackier side of life. I credit the students and teachers of Mills High (1964-1968) for instilling in me the traits of hard work, good health, good humor and love of people. At Mills High in the 1960's, I learned the BIG lesson that anything is possible if I wanted it and didn't give up! So after Mills, I went on to major in Chemistry, get a Ph.D., have a family, start a US pharmaceutical company (OPTR) and bring a life-saving drug (DIFICID) to the world. This summary of my life and career is short, but the journey was very long one. This year, I'm a member of the MHS Class of '68 2013 Reunion Committee and in my search for MHS info, I found this "Yelp MHS Review" page, and I could not resist giving my Mills High School a five-star rating!

St. Dunstan is a great school. My daughter is at kindergarten, and we all like the experience of…read morelearning and growing here. For Kindergarten, it combines academic learning, personalities and social abilities building. My kid is happy to go to school every day. She has been taught so well in Language/Math subjects that she has exceeded grade levels based on tests. She also likes the Art, Music, Tech, PE and Spanish classes. Ms. P and Mrs. A are experienced and super nice teachers. They set high standards on learning and personal growth, but also tailoring to each child's overall progress. I like the daily/weekly communication from both teachers. It makes knowing my child's school experience so much easier. For the school, it feels like a welcoming big family. The office is so supportive daily. Principle S. and VP C. are always there taking care of the school and students' needs. Teachers are friendly, students are polite and caring. Parents remain close and support each other. SD offers several activities every month that parents can enjoy with their kids: Annual festival, Breakfast with Santa, Art activities, Music Performance, etc. It also has many sports programs. The Extended Care program after school time has fun activities and is very affordable. My kid enjoys staying in school with her friends all the time. It says that it takes a village to raise a child. We feel that St. Dunstan is providing such wonderful environment to help my kid thrive.

Daily Academic Support System

Daily Academic Support Systems (DASS) has worked out really well for my 8 year-old son, Aiden. He…read morestarted when he was in first grade. He will be returning for the 3rd year in the fall, and I will be enrolling my daughter who will be six. Initially, I had reservations about enrolling my son in DASS. The program has ~40 kids with many of them older - up to high school age. I was concerned that my 1st grader was too young, may not get enough attention, and would be bored spending all afternoon doing homework from 2:30 until 6pm. My concerns quickly went away because Marian Kong, the program director, is great. I would recommend DASS to parents who want affordable after-school homework support. And here's why: 1) My son gets help from a tutor for his homework. I don't have to spend time helping him with homework after a long day at work. It's done. 2) He is learning Chinese. A Chinese tutor comes in 2X a week and he is picking up some basic Chinese. (And he seems to enjoy it!) 3). Marian communicates well with the parents and keeps a close eye on the kids. I can either ask her to help Aiden focus on an area that needs work, or she would proactively let me know what he needs to work on or how he is progressing. They also provide additional worksheets for the kids to work on if they are done with their homework. I like her approach - with a Chinese academic focus but also balanced with the American individualized learning. She works with kids based on their individual needs. My son loves to read. So not only did she encourage him to read on his own, she had him read with other kids to help them develop more interest in reading. It also helped him build his self-confidence. 4) They are located across from the library - easy access to books (more reading). 5) There are actually many kids his age there. Aiden loves the free play time, and enjoys playing a variety of games including chess, puzzles and hide and seek.
