I wish I could give zero rating for this school

Dear students and parents, GLEN CREST IS A NIGHTMARE!!!!!!Here are some things you NEED to know before putting your kid in this school-TOO MUCH HOMEWORK-school council doesn't help at all. -panic attack territory-HUGE risk of getting bullied and severely hurt- and the environment is just so.... Tense. So yeah I mean you want to learn and forget about it in the morning go to this school- a kid who went through this hot mess

Teachers and staff gossiped about students' grades. It made me feel depressed, especially when I was struggling to learn while dealing with personal issues at home that felt like the weight of the world on my back. Many assignments felt like a waste of time. I developed terrible imposter syndrome, even though I was an honors student with a GPA over 3.5. No one ever noticed or appreciated my hard work. That alone shows how broken the American education system really is.After COVID, most teachers stopped caring whether students were actually learning. They treated everyone the same, regardless of what they were going through. Unless your grades were high, then they would suddenly act like they cared. A lot of people in education became cold and unmotivated. They overworked students and neglected their mental health. Sometimes, helping a struggling student is not about questioning or counseling their feelings. It's about giving them space when they’re not comfortable speaking up. But most teachers don’t understand that. They don’t actually care about students’ feelings. They only pretend to when your grades make you seem worth the attention.
