teachers can be nice. lunch teachers are very rude. Close Quote

I help two students with reading. Both have told me that final exams are this week BUT they’re told they need not study because the tests would be very easy with multiple guess answers! Everyone is guaranteed to get a passing grade, where they will then enter the PCHS with the same low bar for achievement. This school basically provides babysitting services for Middle schoolers. Requirements to learn and achieve are non existent. Close Quote
