Pretty hard. They just need to be careful of their teachers. One was changed from teaching upperclassmen to freshmen, and all I can/should say is I'm glad I'm not in that class. Plus this year a lot of freshmen are going to fail because they took in lots that were very...stupid and others that didn't care much about their grades. BRMHS needs to think about the requirements to get in the school because I know people who deserved to get in more than some freshmen I know now. Close Quote
