Also, I'd like to add something important to my last review about Mrs. Arai -- because to this day,…read moreit still pisses me off. Look, I'll be the first to admit it: I suck at math. I've always struggled with it, and even now, it's still not my thing. I'm not good at it, and I probably never will be. But just because someone struggles with a subject doesn't mean they deserve to be humiliated. Back in her class, I sat next to this girl who -- for some reason doesn't like me at all. and from what I remember, I think Mrs. Arai thought I was cheating off her. Just to be clear, I wasn't. I would never cheat. I might be bad at math, but I always try to do things honestly. And even if I was cheating, which again, I wasn't -- there's a way to handle that kind of situation professionally and with basic human decency. But no. Instead of pulling the girl aside privately and asking her if I was copying -- like any decent teacher would -- Mrs. Arai did the unthinkable. In front of the entire class, in dead silence, she looked straight at the girl and asked out loud: "Is she copying off of you?" I'll never forget how humiliated I felt in that moment. and then the girl, who whatever reason hates me, said "Yeah." Just like that. Like it meant nothing. Like it wasn't my entire reputation, my self-worth, and my dignity being put on trial in front of 30 other kids. I was stunned. Embarrassed. Angry. And worst of all, I felt completely alone. Mrs. Arai didn't ask me if I had anything to say. She didn't give me a chance to explain. She didn't care. It was like she already made up her mind -- like she was waiting for a reason to call me out. To this day, that moment still stings. Not just because of the accusation -- but because of how she handled it. It was unprofessional, immature, and flat-out cruel. Teachers are supposed to support students, especially the ones who struggle. But instead, she used her power to embarrass me and tear me down. I've had some tough experiences in school, but that moment? That one stuck with me. It sort of changed me more than how I was. After that, I started to feel insecure -- not just about math, but about myself. About speaking up. About being seen. I carried that moment with me through the rest of middle school, and honestly, even now it lingers. Call me dramatic, say I'm just overreacting. I don't care, this is my story on how I was treated at this school. If I ever saw Mrs. Arai again -- which I probably won't -- just know this: I will never forgive you. I'll never forget how you made me feel in 6th grade. Like I didn't matter. Like I didn't deserve to be heard. You humiliated me in front of everyone and never looked back. You have no idea how much damage that moment caused. It wasn't just embarrassing -- it changed the way I saw myself. You made me feel small, like I was dumb and didn't belong. And you did it so casually, without care. I stayed quiet in school, not because I had nothing to say, but because I was scared it would be used against me. You created that fear. Teachers are meant to guide and support, not tear students down. But that's exactly what you did. And the worst part? I'm sure you don't even remember it. But I do. I always will. So no, I don't forgive you. Because it mattered. And it still does. But despite everything, I've grown. Slowly. Painfully. But I've grown. I'm learning to speak up. To stand tall -- even when it's hard. Especially when it's hard. Because I deserved better. Every student does. And now, I'm finally starting to believe that. To the students who had Mrs. Arai and had a better experience than I did -- that's great. I truly hope you were treated with the respect and support every student deserves. But just because your experience was different doesn't erase mine. It doesn't change what happened to me or how it made me feel. This is my story. My truth. And for the first time, I'm not going to hide it or shrink myself to make others more comfortable. Because I'm done carrying the silence that was forced on me. I'm done pretending that what happened didn't leave a mark. It did. But I'm learning that it doesn't define me. I'm still healing. Still learning. Still growing. But I'll never let someone like that break me again. And if anyone else out there has ever been made to feel the way I did -- I want you to know: you're not alone. Your voice matters. And you deserve to be heard. Always. To the students who've faced the same kind of treatment -- being bullied, feeling unseen, unheard, damaged, depressed, or like you're losing yourself... even if you've had thoughts of giving up -- just know this: you are not alone. You never were. And truthfully? There's so much more I've experienced at this school. This isn't just about one teacher. It's not just about the staff. There's a deeper pattern -- one that goes far beyond the classroom. But this... this is where I chose to start.

Hi! I am a former student from Rogich who is now homeschooled. I am going to tell you about my…read moreexperience here from grade. I am currently in 7th grade. 6th grade: Pretty fun and cool, I was in the bowling and theater club. Almost all of my teachers were very nice to me, but my math teacher at that time made me feel dumb. I won't be able to say the name for certain reasons, but this teacher would sort-of embarass me in front of everyone in the class and would make rude comments about me. There was this one time where I was trying to retake a math test. But as I was working, this teacher said " Hurry up, Charlie. I want to go home." Their tone in the comment made me feel stupid, rushed, and stressed out. 7th grade: Horrible in most ways. I was in the bowling club, and the teachers I had were still nice. But most of the kids there were very annoying, troublemaking, and loud. The overwhelming crowds and bad influences from most of the students made me feel very uncomfortable to the point where I had to get homeschooled after spring break. To any student who is wondering where I am, I'm homeschooled at home and can still come to after school programs/events. However, the principal, staff, and most of my teachers were very kind to me. The electives I had in 7th grade, which was beginning orchestra and student aids, were the best electives ever in my opinion. If you are about to be a 7th or 8th grader, I recommend you choose student aids because you can help a teacher of your choice and have lots of fun and free time to work on unfinished assignments. That was my review on Sig Rogich middle school.

This situation of bullying is an ongoing situation && nothing seems to be resolving within the school principals, counselor, security, etc I'm a very concerned parent of a child that is being continued to being bully on your school campus With no follow ups or return of phone call/emails Investigations && follow ups are important && for days to pass with no communication is very disturbing My daughter has been attacked from behind 3 times in less than 2 months of school being in session && it seems the staff at Dessert Oasis HS has no control over their students Signing a no contact contract obviously means nothing to these kids && policies need to be taken differently It is ridiculous on how you talk to different principals && staff of the HS && they all have different ways of trying to solve or say to this situation I don't understand why? When a parent is dropping their child off to school for education && is getting texts && calls from their child that she wants to be picked up because she is being attacked, I feel the school apparently is unsafe && not doing their duty to have children in their hands What do you have to say? Bullying is very serious && it seems your school thinks otherwise!! To feel the need to have to pull my daughter from your school is unfair She may not be a 4.0 student but she's been attending her classes && tries to be in class doing her studies To have to worry about passing periods && break times not knowing if she's going to be assaulted from behind is just sad YOU SHOULD HAVE ALL THE STATEMENTS && REPORTS && PREVIOUS EMAILS SENT BACK && FOURTH BETWEEN MYSELF && PRINCIPALS, COUNSELOR, STAFF ETC THAT I'VE COMMUNICATED WITH MOVING FORWARD IS WHAT WE HAVE BEEN DOING BUT WHEN IS ENOUGH, ENOUGH!! I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY A MEETING CAN'T BE CALLED WITH THE PARENTS KIDS WILL BE KIDS BUT WHEN YOU ALLOW YOUR KID TO BE AN ASSHOLE && BULLY IS A DIFFERENT STORY PARENTS OF STUDENTS INVOLVED SHOULD BE INVOLVED OTHER THAN THE SCHOOL STAFF BEING YOU GUYS OBVIOUSLY ARENT DOING ANYTHING
