  This review is for what goes on in the lunch rooms in the morning while I'm eating breakfast with my child. There's a lady named omalee Vega, that has NO BUISNESS NEAR OR AROUND CHILDREN or even animals for that matter. She is hateful and treats kids like dogs. My child used to come home with a lot of writeups , and at first I thought he was acting out, but now that I've gotten more involved I see why. The moment these kids walk through the door they get bullied and verbally disrespected by "teachers". When they're in the lunch room in the mornings they are not allowed to talk or laugh or even sit with their friends. Why? Why omalee Vega? Are they in prison or in school? They are made to sit facing away from the person sitting across from them and be totally silent, or be threatened with visiting the principal. I have personally witnessed her raising her voice to a child that had whispered something to a friend, and this little girl about cried and as a mother this infuriates me! For a whisper?! These kids don't have a voice, so I'll be their voice. You are unnecessarily rude and you have no business treating kids like prisoners. The look on these kids faces say it all. And people wonder why kids are so violent and disrespectful themselves, it's because they go to school and have to deal with people like omalee Vega, who's "job" is "interpreter". So this person has a "job" because they speak Spanish, but her real job is making children hate life, and school. I see now why my child comes home with so many write ups, and why he plays around in class, because he's treated like a prisoner on lockdown the moment he walks in the door. Does omalee Vega treat her own children this way, assuming a man could tolerate her awful attitude for any period of time, or just other people's children. I'd like for omalee Vega to be an "interpreter" in a high school were these kids that you treat like dogs begin to realize they do have a voice, and they can stick up for themselves, I wonder if she would continue this garbage if one of these kids got in her face and told her to check her attitude. Thank you Longwood elementary school for putting the meanest person in the building in the lunch room to ruin our kids days from the start. And I think it's awful that this person gets paid to emotionally abuse children. Gaining and maintaining control of a group is one thing, but total silence? Common sense says that if you let these kids blow off energy and laugh and cut up in the morning BEFORE class, they'll focus more in class. But omalee Vega has no common sense. How sad.

  Place has gone downhill. We had four kids go through here and each year got worse. They use to have great Winter concerts but that is no more. Graduation for the Fifth graders went from creative themes to rushed unorganized events. Glad my youngest kid is done there.
