What people are saying

by a student
Thursday, October 25, 2018

This school is dehumanizing. I have hated it my entire life. Don't just think that I am saying this because i don't like doing work I actually like learning. They hire teachers that don't even have degrees. In 7th grade, I had a math teacher that almost everyone can agree was on drugs. She claimed she had a "math certificate". Not only did she mentally abuse us, but she bullied us! She picked on me and a few of my classmates. I have no idea why when I had an A in her class all 4 marking periods. She also never taught us anything. I think I'm speaking for anyone that ever had her. She would give us lessons that said they were fifth grade on them and we had already learned. No wonder I passed her class. Another factor that causes me to strongly detest this school is the teachers. Most teachers are miserable and treat us like criminals. Everyone is afraid to ask any questions because they will most likely snap. We have a minimum of 2 1/2 hours of homework/night. The principal is unworthy of his placement and is a pompous ass. He is arrogant and thinks he is god almighty. We need cards to go outside and if you get below a d in a class, you do not get one. Therefore, you cannot go outside until the next marking period. If you forget or lose your card, you shall not be permitted to step foot outside or god knows what'll happen to you. They treat us like college scholars and i do not think they realize that we are ages 4-14. I cry every night, every morning, and every day when I get off of the bus. Now that I'm in 8th grade and have suffered, 7 hours a day, 180 days a year, for about 10 years, I think I know how this school goes. It's changing, changing for the worst. Don't just think I'm the only one that feels this way. All day I hear, "I hate this school." My parents even hate it if after they heard the horror stories that came from this so called "school". Please, if you are considering incarcerating your child through this concentration camp, don't do it. I wouldn't wish this upon my worst enemy. Please help. Close Quote
