What people are saying

by a student
Wednesday, May 15, 2019

I rated RPMS one star, and that's because I go there and deal with the miserable experiences others are posting-- 5 days a week. Because I have autism, ADHD, and astma, of course students will bully me first.

35 times (and counting) this school year, I had to go to the nurse's office because people were spraying perfume-- literally in my face! The school has a rule on it, but they don't enforce it at all! If I was to drive on the left-hand side of the road (I know I can't yet-- just an example), the police would pull me over! If the school staff were the police, they would've been like "Whatever!", and went on with their lives.

What's the point of making rules you don't enforce???

Literally yesterday, a student who's name I'm leaving annonymus threw a pencil at me! I wrote a statement at the office (which took FOREVER, which is why I missed my 5th period), and the counselor got back with me at the end of the day-- which was 2 hours after I have written the statement. She said she talked with the students. After the counselor told me what they said, I immediatly noticed they jumbled up the whole story!

I came home, and my Dad was waiting, saying he got an email from the counselor. Apparently, she left out what I had to say in the email and only kept the messed-up parts! I told him I was gonna leave a 1-star review on every review site I can.

And guess what?
I just did. Close Quote
