School Reviews

I am the custodial grandparent of grandson that attended kindergarten at Deweyville Elementary last year. I am appalled at the horrifying fact that he was PADDLED AT SCHOOL! What could a 5yr old child possibly do so terrible to deserve corporal punishment? These are the reasons given: Talking too much; not staying seated; disrupting class; not following directions; being angry and defiant; not sharing or getting along with other children well.
Aren't the teachers/faculty of Deweyville Elementary school trained in recognizing the signs of ADD/ADHD? No need for any training to use a little COMMON SENSE ! It should have been EXTREMELY OBVIOUS that there was an underlying problem, NOT a disobedient tyrant!!!
For some children, kindergarten is their first opportunity to LEARN how to get along with and socialize with other children. It could also be their first opportunity at learning to trust and respect people of authority.

As it turns out, my grandson was living a life of violence and abuse at home. Unfortunately, the entire faculty at Deweyville Elementary School failed to recognize the many red flags. Therefore, he lived with violence and abuse at school also!

Teachers in 19 States Allowed to Physically Punish Students
As of 2014, nineteen states still allow corporal punishment – spanking and paddling the most common choices – in their public schools. However, some argue that not only are these punishments physically harmful, they also are disproportionately administered to students of color. As a result, House democrats have taken up the issue in a new bill that would ban all forms of corporal punishment nationwide.
