In my opinion It saddens me that this school is so behind no not talking about electronics or anything such as that but as far as diversity and change and every holiday accept im sorry a few holidays are accepted and others are not they sub it in on kids calendars and call it act 80 day for holidays such as Martin Luther King day or birthday which teaches children nothing about diversity or something new it seems as though they don't want change in the area and if your family doesn't own a business or apart of it they won't take your child's needs and concerns seriously which half of the kids who parents own business are treated like royalty and get away with alot and those who aren't and are good kids are treated wrongly and left to dry even half of
faculty is like that this i pray it changes Close Quote
