What people are saying

by a student
Saturday, September 22, 2018

The teachers here are absolutely horrid. They constantly are being disrespectful and expect respect in return. I will point out I have had great experiences with Ms. Barnum, Ms. Short, Mr. Hanna and Mr. Manning. I was never disrespected by them, and I was always engaged in their classes. There are often bugs in class rooms and roaches are found in the bathrooms as well. I also speak for all the students when I say they need to fix the bathroom policy. Many classes have a rule of 3 bathroom breaks per semester. All the students despise this, as we often need to use the restroom. No, not to vape, but to use the restroom. I especially think girls and trans guys should be allowed way more than three breaks, due to our time of the month. I very much hope this will be seen by the school. Close Quote
