I feel compelled to share my experience as a parent at Laerskool Tygerpoort, especially regarding the serious issues surrounding bullying and the school's response. Initially, we chose this school because of its promising reputation and values. However, our experience has been marred by troubling events that are worth noting for prospective parents.
From the start, I noticed changes in my son's behavior related to his time at school. After discussing his experiences with him, it became increasingly evident that he was being bullied by other students. I approached the school on multiple occasions, expressing my concerns and seeking assistance. Unfortunately, rather than addressing the issue, I felt that my concerns were minimized and, in some instances, seemingly ignored.
Frustrated and worried for my son's well-being, I ultimately made the decision to withdraw him from Laerskool Tygerpoort. This was a difficult choice, but I believed it was in his best interest. What transpired next was shocking. The school accused me of child abuse, which I found not only unfounded but deeply distressing. The welfare authorities were called in, and their investigation found no grounds for such allegations. However, they did confirm that my son had been bullied at school.
This experience has left me feeling incredibly disillusioned with Laerskool Tygerpoort. Instead of creating a safe environment for students, it seems there is a culture of covering up issues rather than confronting them head-on. The lack of accountability and support for students dealing with bullying is alarming and unacceptable.
If you are considering Laerskool Tygerpoort for your child, I strongly encourage you to thoroughly investigate their stance on bullying and how they handle parental concerns. It's crucial for children to feel safe and supported in their educational environment, and based on my experience, I cannot recommend this school to others.
I hope that sharing my story will encourage the school to reflect on their practices and, ultimately, work towards a safer and more welcoming environment for all students.
School bullying is par for the course at this school. School board is very well aware and ignore and sweep under the rug countless complaints of different parents. Be forewarned.
