Garfield school has no regard for parents..
Its wrong when a 6th grade teacher at Garfield school refuses to let one of her student's call his parent, who is waiting outside, when the teacher is holding him after school.
This is what happened to me yesterday when I was waiting to pick up my son. I waited for over 30 minutes before I called the office to see why my son didn't come out of the school. I went into to get him when I was told by the secretary that he would be another 10 to 15 minutes.
I was told by this 6th grade teacher, it's their policy that my son had to finish all his missing work after school, and believe this, it's not a requirement for them to call, or even let the child call you.
This homework issue was from the day before, when my son forgot his homework and returned to get it. His teacher was out on the playground and couldn't unlock her classroom door for him. She told him that he could do it the next day. But what really upsets me, this teacher never told my son that Garfield's principal could have opened the door, she had done so for several other students that day.
My son was allowed just an hour and a half, study hall, to do all his homework. that was not enough time.
Garfield school principal and teachers alike need to remember that some of us have to leave work to pick up our children since there is no bus system in place. And a courtesy call to the parent should be a policy.
