KIPP

My oldest daughter started kindergarten here. To start her bus stop was more than a mile away (when the bus passed in front of my house). Then after a week they changed it to a block away.
Two weeks later they put my newly turned 5 year old on the wrong bus and lost her for 2 hours. Luckily her bus driver (Ms Tracey who was super nice) finished her route and then spent her off time finding my kid. The school was just waiting for a bus driver to report in with an extra kid.
The whole time my daughter was in school she had been complaining about her hair being pulled. I let the teacher know several times. I figured it was a different texture of hair and the kids were touching each others hair. NOPE. My daughter was being kept in a group of 5 kids and she was the only girl in the group. A little over a month into school she comes home with a black eye, bruises on her scalp and down the other side of her face. Her hair was cut and rebraided. Called the school and the teacher, they tell me it must have happened on the bus. Kid says that it happened after naptime (2 *hours* before end of day). After meetings with the principal the story starts to come out. The teacher sent my kids group of 5 into the hallway unsupervised to put their blankets up. The boys beat my daughter up. The teachers don’t call me. The teachers kept her in the classroom upset and crying until end of day.
We nope’d the hell out of there so fast.
KIPPs board was completely unresponsive and as far as I know the kids weren’t even disciplined. :(
