Terrible experience . There's clearly a racist attitude with some teachers . This behavior may not be visible on the surface , but there are always some children intentionally ignored by the teachers despite their efforts to do their best. It's evident in the way they express their feedback or in their common posts about children in the class , where some kids are never considered and their work is not even recognized. My kid tries the best but feels disappointed when the teacher brings issues from the past and keeps accusing for something that the child isn't doing now. First grade was good but the second grade teacher is a bad example of how teachers should not be. It's high time parent feedback is asked from the school administration to address these kind of behaviors. Also some teachers addressing kids (6-8 year olds) during gym classes as maniacs is not something we expected .

Very crowded , inconvenient start and end times for the school. 9:30- 4:30 (...
