Review content:
Our little boy has spent this past year at LCS, and was having a great time. He liked his teacher, made friends, and socialized well.
I have a few issues with the school as a whole, though. First, I have a big problem with teachers hassling parents to pay. I have been confronted and have seen other parents confronted as they dropped off their kids, by teachers, for their payments when they're one day late (and this is regular practice that I'll expand on in a moment). It's embarassing and rude, and terribly unethical. Teachers should teach, not administrate. What if a teacher decided certain kids should be treated differently if their parents are late paying, or delinquent in payments?
Next: my 4-year-old son brought home an envelope addressed to the president discussing children who die in abortions. I found this extraordinarily inappropriate for my preschooler, who should be learning about walruses and ABCs, not politics, and certainly not sex education or killing babies. It's not an issue he's ready for, and I was not consulted before they enacted this project.
Finally, last week I informed the school that we'd be withdrawing our son for financial reasons (despite our issues we were going to let him finish the year). I was told we had to give two weeks notice, and that I should continue to bring my son for those two weeks. I informed them that I'm fine with that, but that I do not have the money immediately, and it will be a few weeks before I can pay.
Mrs. Marshall said okay, but the money will remain on my statement until I paid, but never said "don't bring your child."
The following Thursday when they didn't receive payment, I dropped off my son and went to work. I received a call soon after saying I had to pay or come pick up your kid. I explained the situation and got another call about 45 minutes later saying Mrs. Marshall said you have to pick him up if you can't pay.
I feel like that the school cares more about money than education, advanced political views at my son's expense.
