Open Quote It’s not the school that once earned all the accolades.
High school principal is unfriendly and rather uninvolved. Teachers are permitted to infuse their passions and political views into lessons with no oversight. It’s no longer academically rigorous because some teachers believe that high expectations hurt minorities.
It’s a hostile environment for moderate and conservative students. The student’s biggest lesson is how to self censor Close Quote
