"6.7.21 Monday To Whom It May Concern: I guess after being @ AISD for 5 years; why not make it 10? There is No place I would rather be and for that matter am appreciated for what I bring to the table, for the middle school students at Sam Houston MS. Go..Houston Rangers..go now! Why would I choose to be somewhere else? I am known as Mr. H!! To my fellow family members, each + every day is Christmas/Thanksgiving/Easter rolled into one. It is like being in Lillie's of the Field + To Sir With Love each + every day, the only person missing is Sidney Poitier! I have plenty of people to fill in his roles, respectively. Thank you, Mrs. Stephenson + SH family. Shalom, N.Harville"

"Ridiculous! They r so rude!! If it says they open at 8am why was I told by two different people that they didn't have their computers set up yet and couldnt help me? I call early, as soon as they open, so I dont have to be put on hold as much. But seriously if you open at 8:00am, you need to have your stuff ready to go!!!"

"Not only does Avondale have problems but AISD is a complete joke! The faculty focus and take priority for their ratios and school funding but they don't take the safety of the children seriously. I watched my 7 year old son come home tormented by his teacher Mrs. Baker almost the full year of 2016-2017. I begged for them to move him into another class to help him regain his love for going to school after finding his teacher missgrading papers multiple times. My son told me a story of the teacher grabbing the back of his neck and that made me go to them for help but again, the school did nothing. I called the board director for Avondale(Stan Chapman) and he did nothing also. I begged again to move my son to another class and was told that for student ratios, they COULD NOT (WOULD NOT) move him to another room. 3 weeks before school was out I got a call from Mr. B the assistant principal, he had "caught Mrs. Baker jerking your son around by his hoodie" (exact words). I was furiated and picked both my 2nd grade son's up within 10 minutes a d called APD to file a report. She scratched his neck, ripped his North Face hoodie and when the detective called me back 2 months later I was very displeased and unsettled thinking this is not going to be justified, which it wasn't. Detective Huddleston stated that according to a TX law, a teacher is able to use justifiable force to get a student to listen and my son was not lining up that day so what she did was justifiable. I DO NOT agree and I don't think many other parents would agree with that either. This teacher is hateful, rude and does not need to be in a class with 1 student, much less 20 students. She has a bad temper and yells at her students to get their attention even when parents are around. She will suggest putting your child on medication if she can't handle them since she did the same with her son. This district does not take the safety of their students seriously or parent concern seriously, obviously. You can find Mrs. Baker teaching 2nd grade still at Avondale so make sure you keep your kids away from her!"

"They violated civil rights, confidentiality, parental rights, committed medical insurance fraud, tried to cover up violence from teachers & other students, justified all their actions as "greater good", false statements, or policy. And this is just elementary school level."
