Brookside Elementary School

Aimee Barrett-Battle: I believe this school has some serious issues with how they handle the discipline of their students. A 9 year old student was suspended from this school for saying that a teacher was cute. Instead of using the incident as a teaching tool, they persecuted the child for making a childish remark. I believe the child and his mother is owed an apology.
