I was a student at new day academy and they do have some good/great teachers they just need to teach more instead of just giving the students their assignment for their classes and they need to start giving their students homework so whenever they decide to wanna give the students tests every Friday or every other Friday and see if they're paying attention in their classes or not... A good/great teacher would consider and understand the importance of their students education... I truly do believe that all students deserve a chance at getting a great education Close Quote
