It’s common for SA to speak about parents this way...they don’t know or want what’s best for their kids...that SA and it’s White Saviors know best. Additional comments from this SA Parent below on the MANY detentions their 5th grader received. #insidesuccess #saparentsspeak

“My daughter went to SADP for 5th grade. She was given detention almost every week for minor things like “not taking her chromebook out in under 1 min” or when a kid was trying to bully her and she told him stop so she got detention for having an outburst.” #insidesuccess

“And the countless times she got in trouble for needing to use the bathroom multiple times a day (she has a doctors note) and they insisted she just wanted to play around.” #insidesuccess

“The principal called a meeting w/ all Gr5 parents of scholars who were failing (her avg was a 70) to point the finger and tell us that we weren’t doing what we needed at home to ensure success. Mind you these children were expected to teach themselves through google classroom.”

“I took my daughter out of the school at the end of this year because it was mentally and emotionally causing so much pain in our relationship. My daughter constantly told me she felt like a robot.” #insidesuccess
