[quote=Anonymous]The school is top-notch. The resource teachers are excellent and provide small-group support to students who need it. I adore the choir and music teachers, and the Peace teacher is wonderful as well. Every lead teacher has been terrific with both my son and daughter, as was Dr. B. and Principal Prall. Both principals led with vision and strength, but Lafayette's well-established parents chose to fight both women to get their way.

We are an OOB White family, and we're grateful for our place here. However, my daughter has yearned to be friends with the "popular" 4th-grade girls, and I wish she hadn't. These girls can be mean-spirited; they compete on wealth and material goods and often put each other down. This has been ongoing since December, with teachers and staff reaching out to parents. Instead of parents taking a constructive approach, many go into defense mode, defending their daughters’ innocence and not supporting the school in encouraging their children to be respectful and kind. It's both appalling and sad.

The troubling part is that all of these girls have iPhones, and I have the text messages sent to my daughter to prove just how hurtful they’ve been.[/quote]
