What people are saying

by a student
Monday, October 3, 2011

most of the children are snooty and prejeduced. They have made fun of me numerous times for not being a christian. They have also been prone to saying racial terms. For instance, they were calling all asian people "Goks". Me, being asian, found this extremely insulting. Other than the children, the teatchers can be arrogant and not well suited in their proffesision. Close Quote
