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.

I went here, I graduated recently. Yeah, I used to be pretty depressed and I’m only good because I studied. Honestly, I was a straight A student and on the honors for the whole time I was there, (mind you I was pretty ahead of my class) and got recommended, yet I was never recognized and put up with a higher class. I used to be depressed (I think it was pretty obvious as I would cry in the bathrooms and come out all puffy eyed and red) and no one even noticed. no one ever knows or cares unless your popular- The popular kids are rude, but the more “outcasted” kids if you’ll call them that are nice. My sister goes there now and it’s actually pretty much the same. Bad and good.

Our daughter went here K- 5 and we all had a great experience with one exception. A teacher would put a crown on kids and would have kids rub her shoulders which was addressed but was very odd to hear she came back to teach.
