"tHE NURSE HERE SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF HERSELF AND I WILL BE MAKING A FORMAL COMPLAINT ABOUT BREAKING THE HIPPA LAW ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. WITH THE MEDICAL BOARD AND WITH TEA IN AUSTIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MY CHILD AND OTHERS. MY NEXT STEP WILL BE LEGAL STEPS"

"Because i have friends it's fun"

"What principal would take up for a teacher before hearing the child and the parents side of the story!! She states it's her friend please, friend are wrong !! The cleveland southside school is the worst!! Rude staff, rude teachers and principals are the worst!!! Our tax dollars are just wasted on paying these poor excuses to be over our kids. I pay your salary find better teachers that have kids and know how to treat them fairly."

"I would have to say the transportation situation was handled extremly poorly!!! The first day of school my husband and I as well as our cousin in law are waiting on our front porch until 7:30pm....thats right until 7:30! We were told the bus might run late from the driver learning new routes..so we call the cleveland bus barn and they LIE to us saying the driver is just dropping off kids when my husband clearly heard them say over the radio in the background my daughter and nieces bus is flipped over in a ditch!!!! When he tells them he can hear the whole thing they give him some bull sh** and tell him they'll call back when they have more info...then he had to go pick them up at the bus barn where they told us they had to get out of the back emergency door and this whole time neither I or my cousin in law or our husbands got a single phone call on the matter! No apologies nothing! And when we talk to the school about it they just point the finger at the bus barn. My daughter and niece have missed the bus coming home from school because even with bright blue bus tags they couldn't figure out who rode or not. A teacher or whatever name Ms. Brown for SOME reason I cannot think of seen my daughter walking to the bus line and told her no go sit back down with a different bus group even though she had not only one bus tag but a second bus tag I had taped on the very front of her backpack!! And we do not have another vehicle when my husband is at work so having to go get her after THEY were responsible each time for her not getting on the bus was an extreme inconvinience! And of course every single time they had their excuses or they just tried to blame it on my daughter instead of taking responsibility and fixing the matter. It seemed like they didnt care until i had to tell her teacher Ms. Byerly to do her job and make sure my daughter gets on the bus or im pulling my daughter from this sorry school and oh all of a sudden my daughter can make it on the bus with no problem each day from there on out. Not just that my daughters class work is repetitive and I hate to say boring it seems like her teacher is more there for a paycheck then anything. My husband and I are trying very hard for my daughter to go to a new school by next year fingers crossed!"

"Ok since were being honest lets see... if your child is "normal" in other words does not have some sort of disability then yes they are a good school, but if your child has a disibility expecialy a mental disability be prepared for all the dumb a** excuses. My child has been sent home for lice multiple times only to get them home and find nothing in their hair. All the phone calls saying that my child is acting up in class and they have to put my mentaly disabled 7 year old child in ISS. All the times i dont recieve progress reports or report cards only to find out that my child has 30's and 40' s. That they claim that an extra 10 min out of resess is making my child improve in their grades and that my child is doing better when my child is not improving. Now about the transportation... my child has gotton kicked off of the bus at least once a month for an entire 7 months straight for things like moving from seat to seat while the bus was sitting still and them loading children onto it (the bus was not even on). For blowing spit bubbles that never left my childs mouth. For talking to loud because every other child is being just as loud. And lets talk about how this same bus driver yells at the children everyday calling them names and telling them to shut up and not to mention how she shut a parents hand in the door and took off down the road with them still stuck in the door, yet she is still driving the same bus a year and a half later. It took me fighing this school district for almost 2 years before they listened and tested my child only for them to find out that my child who has been diagnosed with Bi-polar ADHD has a severe case and now that my child has failed the previous grade and has to repeat it now they want to listen. All i have to say is mother knows best and they need to relize that when a mother and the childs doctor tell them the student has a problem you dont wait till the child is behind and feels stupid because he or she cant do what the other children can to try and help. Catch it bofore the problem gets worse!!! Thats being honest!! Thank you!"
