What will kids learn from their teacher if she herself is rude and partial. Kids can sense these days they are smart enough to tell everything. I don't feel my kid is comfortable going to school rather feels to sit back home. Kindergarten kids love to go to school but this is really a pain for us. This rating is just for that particular teacher otherwise school is amazing.
