I have 4 children in the city of poughkeepsie school district, all who have issues with the schools they are in. I am so tired of hearing the things my children have to endure while they are in school. My youngest child (who is only 5) was denied breakfest by the school staff. My other child has been bullied on the playground and the moniters who are out side with the kids, the same ones who are there to keep OUR children safe let this go on. My youngest girl is constely being bulied, the kids throw her into the lockers, know her books out of her hand and laugh at her. Then i have my oldest who has a figure of a grown woman. The boys are always touching her in places they should not be. All of these things are going on right under the staff's noses. It is not just my children, i have heard the kids at my youngest childs school ask for more food and were told NO. A little boy in my girls school had his lunch taken from him when he started to cry over it he was told to basically grow up. Some of these kids have no food at home our schools are the only way they eat. The school follows a "no child left behind act" but what about a "no child should be hungry act"? These are the poeple we trust to take care of our kids and yet our children our not being taken care of and I AM tired of it. If we don't take a stand who will? Now is the time before it is to late.
