A couple teachers honestly need improvement and i'm so glad I don't go here anymore. Mrs wakeman is…read morean english teacher and honestly i'm surprised there isn't a staff member who checks her class environment daily. This teacher has a bad temper over the littlest things like accidentally talking over her she'll yell or embarrass you infront of the class. One time I was late by 5 MINUTES and the door was locked so of course I knocked. When i knocked she looked over and ignored me and i continued to knock and that's when she told me I can wait because she's teaching. After that she closed the door in my face and honestly i should've reported her right there because it was completely unnecessary, she could've simply let me in and go on teaching. So after I waited for her to open the door again she comes out and asks why Im late and I tell her that I left my house late and she told me to be on time next time. I can tell a lot of kids in her class don't respect her because of how she treats them, including myself. She gets so butthurt when the whole class doesn't kiss her feet and say goodmorning back to her. I mean it's 8:30AM and you expect us to be kind when you have your days where you're not kind to us? Also making us write 5 sentences every morning like hello i'm barely adjusting lol. If staff or herself is seeing this, please improve because honestly yelling at students or giving them an attitude is NOT gonna make them respect you. I continued to show I disliked her such as giving an attitude and ignoring her at times. Lastly, Mrs wakeman constantly goes off topic which ruins my learning, talking about how successful her children are, how they are in college and how well they are doing in school. She constantly even talks about herself and her own issues like we don't got issues ourselves that are worse than yours. Constantly complaining about how she needs her coffee and how she wishes it was the weekend. Girl please. Other than that, I would say I got the work done and had a 100% this semester in the class.

(Chunk Bunk for short) I can't believe she retired and I was so disheartened and disappointed to hear she has retired as of last year. I heard the news from my kiddo Rebecca Jones, 8th grade. Never will there be another one like Cheryl Baber Thompson and I hope Madam Turk can fulfill her duty as the greatest and biggest teacher at Shivela so far. (No pun intended am I right Crystal?) My kids have had fun times here and my last daughter is leaving this year. I'll miss what my kids call "Papa Hamm" or "Big Brett BARTlett." Some may even call the assistant principal Mr. Brown the "Boot Duster Brown" as in he dusts boots. No idea what that means. We love Mr. Brown in this household. Anyways, thanks mama bear Cheryl for all you did. I'll miss you and your pigtails that showed your scalp and made my kids want to "throw up." Their words, not mine. Love and wishes!

Yesterday at the school, I heard a kid say how he loves Papa Ham... unacceptable! I would rather watch Madame Web, Lesbian Space Princess, and Dean Witherspoon than send another one of my five middle children to this school. I will now provide a list of things I HATE about this school. 1. The teachers 2. The staff 3. The zesty kids 4. The ground 5. The trees As we see, EVERYTHING here is horrible. The S.S. teacher, Mr. Vancoochies or whatever, is saddening to watch and makes me want to look like Brent B. And now kids are getting freaky here... and yes, that is actually true! Some will call this slander or overdramatized, but I would rather goon with sandpaper than go here once more. Honestly, flat-earthers are better. MY good friend Brent B. had become totally EMO from this school... I rank this, if I could, -10/10 stars; WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!

I now have two kids that go here and I don't have any major complaints except for the traffic really. I've had 2 teachers I disliked for my oldest but those issues were resolved quickly. My oldest has an IEP and the school has been very accommodating and great with their IEP team. Mr. Byrne is a great IEP manager and our kid is going to miss him when they go to high school next year! The uniforms are great because I feel like they focus on education more than what the kids are wearing if it's popular or not. Their website has a student handbook to know what your kids will need and wear for the school that's appropriate it's not hard to provide necessary uniform items and avoid policy issues. Overall I'm happy. My kids are thriving and happy here at Santa Rosa. The lottery can be frustrating but if you start as red track it's easy to move on up to a different track. Go rangers!
