Ps 2 Alfred Zimberg

Terrible school, horrible teachers and aggressive principal

This is the worst school I have ever encountered. I choose to go outside of this district and pay for transportation to a school that is further away, just so that I will no longer have to send my children to this school. Lazy teachers, staff and coordinators, lots of bullying, extremely poor communication. My child was so unhappy here, just terrible.

also,from the other coment,when kids are hurt or bleeding bad and they go to the nurse, the nurse is on 'lunch break'. i feel bad for the kids who couldnt see the nurse.

Communication is horrible. If I want information I have to call the office. Half the time I call I'm placed on hold while they try to find out the answer. I'm talking about simple things like, are the kids allowed to wear costumes on Halloween. It's the day before Halloween, we should already know! I find the teachers I've dealt with to be the type that just want to clock in and clock out. I STRONGLY disagree with their policy of birthday celebrations for the young grades (no celebration at all for the older students). Grouping everyone together once a month and excluding parents is a horrible policy and does not make me or my child feel part of a school family. They hardly go on trips. They say their primary focus is education but the work my kid is doing is a joke. I am all for strong academics, which they lack anyway, but they're missing the mark with allowing parent involvement (except for the select few) as well as a whole world of educating children outside of reading from a text book.
