This school is one of the worst schools my daughter has ever attended. How can they consider it is good schooling to give a child days off for being late for detention. I would like to know the benifit to the child to have time off without learning or being given any work. I think there are too many people with way too much time on their hands, and they're not taking the students best intrest into consideration. They kids go to school for education not to be denied education because they were caught on the phone between classes, wearing a pair of jeans with a rip in the leg, etc. This school might want to take a hard look at what they are really teaching the kids. These kids aren't bad they are kids and need rules but not at the extent that this school has gone. Close Quote
