It's because the students there are hostile, aggressive, racist, sadistic, and intimidating.

The children who are shy, troubled, less fortunate get ignored or not taken seriously. For example when I was there me and a few other students were not invited to prize giving evening, out of careless behaviour of the teachers. The teachers there are useless as they don't care about good students, they just care about students who bully and pick on other students.\n\nStudents there are very aggressive like dogs off leashes, if you dare stand up to them if they harm you, they can't take it and get hostile. Believe me your children will get abused, verbally abused, beaten up, and humiliated.\n\nGood hearted and gifted, talented people like me are not wanted there, so why should you let your kids go there?

reviews: [{"relativePublishTimeDescription":"9 years ago","rating":1,"text":{"text":"I went to The Howard School, and I can tell you it is the worst school to send your children to. Why you ask? It's because the students there are hostile, aggressive, racist, sadistic, and intimidating. The students are insanely paranoid and accuse you of talking about them, or planning on causing harm to them.\n\nThe teachers don't support children who are having trouble succeeding, they only care about the children who are brash, loud, big headed, and threatening. The children who are shy, troubled, less fortunate get ignored or not taken seriously. For example when I was there me and a few other students were not invited to prize giving evening, out of careless behaviour of the teachers. The teachers there are useless as they don't care about good students, they just care about students who bully and pick on other students.\n\nStudents there are very aggressive like dogs off leashes, if you dare stand up to them if they harm you, they can't take it and get hostile. Believe me your children will get abused, verbally abused, beaten up, and humiliated.\n\nGood hearted and gifted, talented people like me are not wanted there, so why should you let your kids go there? If you want your children to go through hell, be my guest, that's your problem.
