Bear Creek Elementary School

As the reviewer before me I had heard great things about Bear Creek and that they were one of the top schools in the district. So I fought hard to get him in. What they don't tell you is they have no patience or tolerance for children who don't live up to their ideal standards. In my sons 4 years there, there has only ever been one regular teacher and one specials teacher who has ever given us anything positive on his progress at school. And his current teacher is the worst by having him do more of the hard work than the other kids just because he can't keep up with it. Not to mention belittling him and making him feel like he's stupid for not being able to do the work. I too am seeking a better school for my son. When a school cares more about their image than the child's well being, it is not the school for us.

Currently, my child attends the 1st grade at Bear Creek. I choose to put my son in BC even though we lived out of the district because all the positives I head about it. It's been the worst decision I could have made. Not only has his tenured teacher demonstrated unprofessionalism, but her behavior towards my son has caused his self esteem and confidence to go down the tubes. During the course of the year my son suffered an emotional trauma and his teacher was directed by my sons psychologist and school administrators to provide more positive reinforcement. This also included sending home daily reports of how his day went via email. His teacher continued her negative way of discipline and pretty much refused to send the daily reports unless asked several times by myself or school administrators. My son spent 2-3 hours a night doing homework or reports (working very hard on them too!). Then would receive marginal grades for acceptable and correct work. My son no longer fits their mold and they have made it uncomfortable for him to attend. I am seeking out another school before they can cause anymore damage to my son.
