I had brought my students to compete at the SkillsUSA State competition in Ontario, Ca. On the…read moreevening known as 'Social Event' night the skillsUSA organizers invited all 4000 plus contestants to enjoy food trucks of Chick-Fil-A, In and Out, and a Softy Ice Cream. I was waiting in line. Behind me was a teacher (I'll refer to her as Betsy but that's not her real name) and she teaches in the Bay Area. In front of me were two students from Los Alisos Middle School. There must have been over 100 people in front of us waiting for the ice cream. Deep within me, I had told myself that none of these food trucks were worth the wait. My students were waiting at the In-and-Out Line and I didn't really want any food. Rather, ice cream sounded good. Well the two little middle boys decided to allow a friend to cut in front of us. I didn't like that, but I let it go. Then the one friend grew into two, then three, then 4. Before I knew it over 7 students made their way in front of us, irking both me and Betsy. We told the students that it was not fair and not right to allow so many students to cut in front of us. They started giving us attitude, telling us to 'grow up' and 'act like an adult'. They acted like they did nothing wrong. Betsy went to get their teacher and the teacher replied, 'well it's their competition and they should do what they want'. I was aghast. I expected the middle school brats to say immature nonsensical things, but the teacher? I could not believe what I heard! Betsy and I were shocked beyond belief that a teacher, who was supposed to be a role model, would lower herself to such immaturity. Betsy and I just sucked it up and just waited. If it were my students, I would have pulled them out and forced them to the back of the line. Now I can see why society is going this way and kids have so much disrespect. I also see why their students didn't win anything in any competition. My students took gold. Shame on the teacher! Shame on the school! Glad my kids didn't go there! With schools and teachers like this, our society is in deep trouble!

My son is an SEA alumni and I am so grateful he chose to go to this school. Every single teacher…read morehere is caring and is genuinely concerned about their students. The Msgts that run the school are just awesome, upstanding men. The admins work hard to make sure the school is run smoothly, and the guidance counselors are great with helping the kids navigate through their options for after graduation. Many kids who go here are from outside the district, with parents willing to drive far just so their kids can attend. We live in one of the top school districts in the state (ABC Unified) and had other options, yet we chose to enroll our son at SEA because of the school's reputation. This school has built upon the structure and discipline our son needed in order to be a successful young adult, while emphasizing the importance of teamwork and accountability.

This incident occurred in October 2021, and it reflects serious concerns about student safety and…read morehow issues are handled at this school. My son was bullied by another student who also encouraged others to join in. He was pushed, dragged, hit, and even had his shoe taken off and thrown. When we reported this, the response from Vice Principal Jenny Amaya was extremely disappointing. She dismissed the situation by saying my son was "being annoying," which is not an acceptable justification for physical bullying. What made the situation worse is that the vice principal had my child change his statement without my authorization. She essentially coached him on what to say, and the revised statement appeared to minimize what happened and protect the school. This is where everything escalated and became even more concerning. There also appeared to be a conflict of interest, as the student who initiated the bullying was reportedly related to the vice principal. This raises concerns about fairness and whether the situation was handled objectively. At the time, the school also had a new principal who seemed unaware of what was going on, and no meaningful action was taken. I reported the issue to the district, but nothing was done. The lack of accountability and follow-through is very concerning. Overall, this experience left us feeling that the school does not provide a safe or supportive environment for all students. I hope improvements are made so that no other family has to go through a similar situation. Some teachers are great!

They play at the football games and have also marched in the Norwalk Halloween Parade. I also suggested that my daughter try out for the Jazz Band which is 0 period. It is a commitment getting the kids there so early, but I think she has enjoyed it so far. I played the violin in H.S. and never got the opportunity to learn a brass or reed instrument. The marching band and jazz band get to go more places than our orchestra did. So I was excited for my daughter to participate. She's doing well in her classes thus far. And I was happy to learn that they have study sessions before midterms and finals. That was pretty cool. I look forward to seeing what else is in store for her.
