Monday, December 12, 2011

Open Quote Drugs are freely used and sold on school grounds, the school police do nothing or, when they do do something, it's like the 3 stooges doing a skit.

Girls are regularly stalked and assaulted by boys.

Teachers and guidance encourage kids to drop out rather than dare to bring the school's grade down. Close Quote
