Open Quote The curriculum is lacking in more than one area and classes always feel so unorganized. Some teachers actually teach which is appreciated but the bare minimum. It’s hard to learn when you’re being read unoriginal content and then being told by the teacher that the content is inaccurate. If it has mistakes or is wrong maybe you should make your own slideshows. Most of the teachers that actually cared left and I plan on leaving next year too, it’s draining to be taught by people that don’t seem to care about you as a scholar let alone a person. There’s also blatant favoritism and bias within the classrooms despite them seeing us in-person for less than two weeks out of a whole school year. Close Quote
