(2 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - Three years at this school was three years of horrible teachers. In my seventh grade year, my math teacher was busted for drugs and we went through four different teachers throughout that year, not counting the teacher aids. That same year the Science teacher quit after giving birth, leading to a variety of subs and finally a teacher with two months of school left. In my eighth grade year, last year, I had all new teachers, not including my elective classes. This was okay, but in the middle of math, we received a new teacher, who, wasn't used to teaching at a eighth grade level. She often grew angry with us, and despite several talks with administration and guidance counselors, we received the same treatment. We had teachers interrupt other teachers, for small side stories, taking away from out short class periods. Also, bully was a major problem there, and wasn't seen to the teachers, as they always turned their head away.
