Butler Elementary School
JaneAdams-ga: Is Butler Elementary a prison or a school? Hell even prisoners get to talk, go the bathroom,and play outside.They need a Warden not a Principle. Monitor those fifth grade teachers. Attitude, Attitude, Attitude. HELP our children. Seperate the sisters and the principle is their family. Wow how can a parent get anywhere with it being a family affair.

Butler Elementary School
of the five fifth grade teachers three are horrible. They are rude and seem to be angry about teaching. The children hate having to attend. The two sisters fifth grade teachers should be seperated. They feed off each others rudeness. Fire all but one and replace them. Send them on the Island to teach where they will be held accountable for the way they treat their stuents. They yell at the students as if they are at home with their own children. My child is so intimidated by their facial expressions that she refuses to ask questions.
