[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is validating to hear about the negative experiences folks have had at PTES. Our kid has been going there for over a year and we are shocked at the level of covert racism and overt favoritism. It's clear that the administration does not care and have given free reign to "certain" teachers to give preferential treatment to kids whose parents suck up to them. It's very cliquey and truly disheartening. Plus it seems your child gets penalized for bringing up any concerns with the teacher/admin. We regret our decision of moving for this school. [/quote]

My student is also at PTES and while it's mostly been okay, there is absolutely a climate of favoritism. My child has also experienced a fair amount bullying, which I don't feel the school has done enough to quelch despite recurrent targeting by the same student. I'm disappointed to hear about the racism. I'm not discounting your experience, but our student's class has also been very diverse, so I (apparently incorrectly) assumed there was a more inclusive approach.[/quote]
