Not only does this school and faculty focus and take priority for their ratios and school funding but they dont take the safety of the children seriously. I watched my 7 year old son come home tormented by his teacher Mrs. Baker almost the full year of 2016-2017. I begged for them to move him into another class to help him regain his love for going to school after finding his teacher missgrading papers multiple times. My son told me a story of the teacher grabbing the back of his neck and that made me go to them for help but again, the school did nothing. I called the board director for Avondale and he did nothing also. I begged again to move my son to another class and was told that for student ratios, they COULD NOT (WOULD NOT) move him to another room. 3 weeks before school was out I got a call from Mr. B the assistant principal, he had caught Mrs. Baker jerking your son around by his hoodie (exact words). I was furiated and picked both my 2nd grade sons up within 10 minutes a d called APD to file a report. She scratched his neck, ripped his North Face hoodie and when the detective called me back 2 months later I was very displeased and unsettled thinking this is not going to be justified, which it wasnt. Detective Huddleston stated that according to a TX law, a teacher is able to use justifiable force to get a student to listen and my son was not lining up that day so what she did was justifiable. I DO NOT agree and I dont think many other parents would agree with that either. This teacher is hateful, rude and does not need to be in a class with 1 student, much less 20 students. She has a bad temper and yells at her students to get their attention even when parents are around. She will suggest putting your child on medication if she cant handle them since she did the same with her son.
