Mark twain Middle School is definitely going to be something down the road ,But right now there is an element in the school
that is out of control .My daughter is a fourth grader who is in among an older crowd and the language and abuse that she has to listen to would embarrass a sailor .This afternoon my wife and her were called every name and expletive by a bunch of so called students from one of the school buses on Woodlawn ave ,this Behavior is outrageous and seems to be the norm as a lot of Mothers have been subjected to this abuse during the course of Picking  up their kids . My wife is very upset and so am I if I were there would these Kids be so Brazen? . We now have to consider our options...
