The worst year of my life, was my one year at Buckley School. Three decades ago, entering 7th…read moregrade; the children and teachers of this school welcomed me with bullying, daily threats, physical assaults and teacher-encouraged mocking. The evil I experienced at this school in 1990 was breathtaking, and by today's standards would have lead to this school's closure with all the social media video to back up my assertions. I almost committed su***de that year. "We let the children work out their problems themselves" was the mantra. No relief. No protection. Just the infliction of pure cruelty .... while the "adults" stood by and watched. Tho they ALWAYS stepped in to punish me when I tried to fight back. "The true measure of any society can be found in how it treats it's most vulnerable members." -Mahatma Ghandi. This quote follows me - haunts me to this day, BECAUSE of Buckley School. They taught me a very valuable lesson in this life: to not trust anyone.

This experience has been extremely disappointing and disturbing. The way bullying is handled at…read morethis school is unacceptable. When my child reported being slapped by another student, the school staff dismissed it as "a game the kids are playing." Explaining physical assault as normal behavior is not only irresponsible -- it sends a dangerous message to both children and parents. When a child comes forward saying they were hurt by other students, it deserves to be taken seriously, not minimized or excused. If this is considered "normal" by the staff, then this school has a serious problem with student safety and accountability. I have lost all trust in the administration's ability to protect children. I am counting down the days until the school year ends so I can transfer my child. I will also be formally escalating this issue to the school district. No child should feel unsafe at school, and no parent should be made to feel powerless when advocating for their child.

When a child no longer likes going to school because of their teacher, it is a major problem--and this isn't the first year we have had issues here. The fourth-grade teacher holds all children in during recess and lunch (which is illegal in many districts). She even tells the students she receives multiple emails from parents saying she is being 'mean,' yet she continues to hold them in class. Furthermore, the students are required to leave their backpacks and lunch bags outside. While these items are left unattended, other children walk by and steal from them. Despite multiple calls and emails to the principal to inform her of the teacher's behavior and the theft, nothing has been done. This is a serious problem."

I've had to reach out to the staff several times in order to get any responses which is kinda ridiculous. I've also noticed that they treat you different if you're not white. I've had multiple instances where I've witnessed it and have also experienced it. For example....Earlier this month I was picking up my son from school with my puppy. I had seen other parents walk in with their dogs before so I decided to bring mine along for the first time. As I got to the pick up gate I picked my puppy up and was walking behind another woman with her dog (who was light skinned) and out of nowhere I hear someone shouting. At first I had no idea this person was talking to me but the shouting got louder so I turned around. This teacher named PAT FOURNIER comes running, gets right in my face and starts shouting "Dogs are not allowed on the school grounds, you need to leave" . Mind you this is not only an adult but a teacher that is teaching our future generations. I asked that he stopped shouting and speak to me like a normal human being and he continued to shout. The yelling was completely unnecessary and disrespectful. He could have easily pat me on the shoulder and said "the dog is not allowed". I am a full grown adult who understands rules and I would have gladly walked out. The other woman that had walked in was left to go in without any repercussions. Racist much??? To make matters worse.... I called the front office to file a complaint. They said they would pass the message along to the principal who would be calling me back regarding the matter. It's been two weeks and nothing. When will I get a call Principal Kassebaum?
