PLEASE SHARE MY STORY GUYS!!! Ben Gamla Charter School Plantation allowed my son who has Epilepsy to be bullied by a kid and once my son got up to defend himself, they gave him I.S.... this child threw stuff at my child multiple times, then my child proceeded to throw his sweater at the kid. Then the kid hit my son in his face with a lunch box (my child has Epilepsy). Then the fight was broken up. The school says the decision was justified because Lyric was the first to be "physical" . I dont agree with this. I thought being physical is ANY type of contact to harm. So how was my child the FIRST to be physical? I contacted the school Liason, Marla, and no results. She pretty much came back stating that the principal thinks decision was justified. My child repeatedly asked the child to stop. There was no time to tell a teacher in the lunch room when you're basically being bullied by another student. My child could've went into a seizure.

Love this school. From the principal to the teacher. It feels like home not only for the students but also for the parents.

I took my daughter out of this school. The principal of this school is very disrespectful towards parents. 1.- Kindergarten orientation 2 years ago, some parents (including myself) were going up the stairs at the school and she yelled "why would you be going upstairs, don't you know kinder is downstairs?" - there was no one at the site to guide us where to go and we did not know the school grounds. 2.- I needed before care, so she called me personally, and I was at a conference all day, she left me a voicemail saying "how sad I chose not to answer her phone call" - I called her back the next morning and explained to her I was at a conference and could not take the call. Conversation continued and she says "Maybe this is not the school for you, where do you live?" - I actually lived in her same building 10 mins away. 3.- 1st grade orientation, she yells at a parent in front of everyone "hey, you! Put away that phone you are in my domain now!" - she could respectfully have said excuse sir, can you please put away your phone as we have started. 4.- Last incident and for which I left the school, I emailed her about a safety concern as my daughter told me that one of her friends thought they were filming them from outside of the school, to which she replied with a very disrespectful email basically saying there is nothing she can do because the street is public property. I understand, but she did not even say I will look into it. So if safety is not something this school wants to reinforce, I am out.
