KIPP DC Shaw Campus

Bullying is downplayed at this school by the very people who are supposed to keep children safe. I have talked to everyone who teach my child and the principal. I'm always told it didn't happen. Nobody else saw it happen. How come my child didn't say anything? Etc. Well my child always says something to me and like I said when it is told to the teachers it is downplayed. They went as far as telling me the other child and my child just don't like each other and the hitting/name calling is both sided. If that is the case then how come it is my child who always has the issues and comes home telling me about an incident? If that isn't bad enough my child is always removed from the situation being sent to the back of the class or to another classroom. That seems like a punishment towards my child. This has been going on since the beginning of the school year. At one point I felt like I wanted to take my child out of the school. But why should I uproot my child who does have a good/healthy relationship with many teachers/other children at this school? And my child is also learning well and is doing good academically, but my child can certainly excel at any school. If my child does return to this school they are going to be taking bullying more serious, paying more attention, and doing things to make sure it is stopped. No more downplaying and blaming the victim! Stop aiding the bully and blaming the victim! Thank God my child knows that I am listening, I care, and I do believe that it is happening. Thank God my child is not giving up that it can be stopped!

Teachers need to improve communicating with parents and the school seem to be a bit unorganized. My child is progressing.
