her name is Ilene Jacobs.

Is the School worry about this? Yelp doesn't have the best reputation when
it comes to reviews with agenda. Just google Yelp and you see the stories.
i'm in the mind the best way to deal with this is not to validate Yelp with
a review.

There was an Ilene Jacob type in my daughter's grade and they will be
others after Ilene.
