Mrs. Gibson from the Pingry School had a beef with my parents. I think it was pure jealousy in origin. They did better in life than she did. So she started saying I was this big problem child, that I was doing things I had never done in my life. She lied. She lies like a rug. She convinced everyone at the school that I had "a problem, " even though I didn't. She said I had ADHD. I didn't.

I had to go to doctors. I even had to get an EEG when I was just a kid, get hooked up to a machine where they monitor your brain waves with electrodes, like science fiction, which terrified me out of my wits. All for Mrs. Gibson! All to shut Mrs. Gibson up!

The results of the test were that there was nothing wrong with me. The doctor said the only thing he could see wrong was that school! I got transferred out but while I was still there I was getting sick to my stomach in the morning before having to come face to face with Mrs. Gibson the Unevolved. The only "big problems" I had were the ones she was making up to "get to" my parents!

Now I find things written about her on the net and I am so glad that the story of what she's like is finally coming to light. There's another thread saying the school went and gave Mrs. Gibson a free trip all expenses paid to China. They need to face what's really going on and the real character, or rather lack thereof, of the people like her who are on their faculty. In the end it's the students who are going to be losing out. Rewarding a person like her is just crazy.

I was another student Mrs. Gibson treated abusively. Her methods should have been looked into a long time ago. I am happy to say she's retired to San Diego. In my opinion, he best thing she's ever done for students is stop teaching. Good riddance, and God save California!

There are so many reports and complaints about The Pingry School. All go unaddressed.
Read the complaints. There are complaints of a teacher sexually abusing students. There is a complaint of teachers discriminating against female students. There are complaints about students being sent to psychiatrists for the wrong reason. There are complaints that this does so much more harm than good. There are complaints that the psychiatrists are verbally abusive to the students. There are complaints of drugs and alcohol used by faculty. There are complaints of faculty and principals taking bribes for grades. There are complaints of generalized bullying. There is organized chaos at the school.
There are also complaints that nothing ever gets done about any of it and those are most chilling of them all.
I can tell you what I think is going on. The Pingry School faculty excels at one thing only: undermining the rich children of the 1%. That is what is happening. The faculty likes undercutting students whose parents are doing better than they are. There are Socialist sympathizers working there. They are unified in the way the students are mistreated. It's all for a purpose. The purpose is to bring the students down. The children will be the leaders of business of tomorrow. The Pingry Faculty wants to wreck their selfworth any way they can.
There is a whole tradition at the school of working against not for the students. It's personal resentment of the Have Nots on the faculty posing as education. Their goal is to hurt the rich children. If it wasn't something would have been done to stop all this by now.

This school is being sued because they say the administration knew of a pedophile on the staff and did nothing to stop him. Thad Alton is his name. There are also complaints all over the Internet about Pingry School saying there were two instances of pedophiles working there and that kids were being falsely labelled "sick" or as having "psychiatric problems." Teachers and school psychologists said it. Later the kids were found to not have anything wrong with them by real professionals.

Doesn't it seem strange that a school that has pedophiles on their staff is claiming that kids were "sick" when they weren't? I think it was all done to discredit those kids who might just have spoken up!

There is something very seriously wrong if such a person is not fired when there are complaints about her all over the Internet.

Let me tell you something. I was the victim of child abuse at another school by one of the people who is now employed by Pingry's clueless administration. She was a really sick ticket and she should have been stopped in her tracks way back when. You want to stop this sort of thing? Then take some positive action! Install surveillance cameras in every single classroom! Preferrably ones with streaming video! Let the board, the administrators and the parents have a chance to access what's going on in those classrooms over their computers! Let every single move those teachers are making be on film so that the teachers have no choice but to be accountable for their actions. My, my, how nice that would be for a change with a psycho like that freak you've got on the staff! Then also allow the students to have phones that can record movies of what goes on in the classrooms if there isany kind of sicko trouble! If you already had that mother you've got on your staff in a position where she was getting filmed and had to answer to her superiors for every last one of her actions you would not be on /removed/ for being an abusive school that doesn't care about your students in the first place. Do something constructive and nip this in the bud and do it before she escalates and this gets worse. You don't know what you're dealing with on your staff, but I was abused by the same lunatic and I do know!
