They make us learn a lot but the teachers take things TOO seriously, they literally said about how if you got a C and below you are dumb. They are overprotective and they literally make us FORCED to have are parents in contact with them. They have a hallway created just for people with disabilities.There are a annoying/ bad person in EVERY SINGLE CLASSROOM and 2 people in the back of the bus who say cuss words all the time and fight people and ended up giving me cuts all over my legs.
