School Reviews

I am a 7th grader who used to go to NEA in 3rd grade, and if I had to summarize my experience here, it would be simply Chaos. I don't know about the school now but when I went the class was full of bullies, I was bullied every day, they would even bully the teachers. I'm not just talking about my class (even though my class I would say had it the baddest), every other classroom the students were terrible. In my classroom, they made the teacher cry almost bi-monthly. The principal would come in everyday just for our class. I would cry every night when I was enrolled, I even cried while taking tests. For recess is terrible, the playground isn't even legally theirs and its falling apart. I've seen now that they've taken away the slides and its only the swings now. The only good playground there is the little kids one. And for snack time there was only black cement and deflated balls to play with. One time another kid there stole my lunch box, and the staff didn't do anything. Don't go to this school.

As of 2014, nineteen states still allow corporal punishment – spanking and paddling the most common choices – in their public schools. However, some argue that not only are these punishments physically harmful, they also are disproportionately administered to students of color. As a result, House democrats have taken up the issue in a new bill that would ban all forms of corporal punishment nationwide.
