A systemic failure in inclusivity

St. Bernard's claims "where you are known" is a cruel irony. This school has transformed from a once-supportive environment to a toxic institution that systematically fails neurodivergent students and their families.

Key Issues included;
-Complete breakdown of learning diversity support
-Outdated, harmful teaching practices
-Dismissive leadership
-Lack of genuine inclusivity
-Hostile environment for diverse students

The current Learning Diversity Officer demonstrates a profound misunderstanding of neurodivergence, actively undermining student potential. Teachers who truly understood student needs have fled, leaving behind a shell of an educational institution more concerned with appearances than actual student well-being.
The principal's indifference is particularly alarming. When concerned parents raise legitimate issues about student support, they are met with bureaucratic silence. The school's approach to Individual Education Plans is not just inadequate, it's destructive.

Recommendation: Avoid St. Bernard's unless your child fits a narrow, privileged demographic. This is not a school; it's a cautionary tale of institutional failure.
