I am a formal student at Talcott i’ve been there for seven years of my life and I do not reccomed putting your child in this school my last years at this school was terrible this school has horrible staff memebers with such dumb rules like this one time I was in line and tring to see how many people were in front of me and my shoulder was out just a little the staff member had told me i was introuble for that and put me in back of the line with about 20 more kids in font of me becuase the luch line was two clases combined and made me sit by myself in the lunch room
The teachers here are not good at all my reading teacher in the 6th grade had given us 3rd grade work and most of the time it was never collected or graded snd for my scince teacher had trouble controlling his anger that he had snatched my binder out of my hand and threw it across the room I had tryed to report it but as usal they didn’t have the time to here a voice fom one of there students
Bulling is not taken seriouly here bulling is one of the reason why I had to transfer from this school i had also try to report it but again no one would listen it had become so bad thta i had started crying which was the only time they actally listend to me when my teacher had talked to me she basically said that there was no need to cry and I was showing weeknes so please dont send youre child here

I am very displeased with the actions taken by this school. When a student bring up an issue with administration, they don’t take it serious until a parent is involved.Us students feel as if we have a very little voice in what happens to us. They treat us disrespectfully and snap and clap at us like were dogs. We get punished for speaking our minds. Certain students get special treatment. If I were to do something bad, I would get an entire speech about how its wrong but if they did the exact same thing they’d get away with it. Most of the time we’re not learning and when we express this to other teachers, they defend those teachers. They make up excuses for them as if they’ve been with those teachers and in our situation . Its sad because if we tell this to administration, nothing will change.

I attended that school from 3rd to 6th grade and it was horrible. There were only two teachers that I loved (Mrs.Becky & Mr.Zugiyer) , & honestly they were so caring and when they saw that something was upsetting you or that something was wrong , they took action and they were there to listen and had your back. The rest of the teachers and staff there have always been corrupt , and still are. My little cousin is currently getting bullied being called racial AND homophobic slurs by the kids that are just INSANE. The school isnt taking action which completely isnt a surpirse to me. Times havent changed. Please please please dont send your child to school here. It is a negative environment with negative faculty members.
