- Rating:
(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - 1) The teachers actually care about their students.
2) The teachers conduct their education plans in an effective manner.
3) Students are encouraged to learn computer skills, how to work in groups and how to do professional presentations.
4) This school is out to make a difference in impoverished communities.
5) Their lunches don't taste like re-fried cardboard.
6) They take bullying seriously instead of ignoring the situation with a "Kids will be kids" attitude.
7) They typically have smaller class sizes, which means better learning and less chance of being ignored.
8) MCLC is one of the few schools that will still offer their students educational field trips. With other schools, if a teacher wanted to give their students a field trip, the teacher would have to go through mounds of paperwork and a long waiting period just to take one class for a trip to UC Irvine.
9) Your child will benefit from this school. I had formerly been to a big high school and those schools tended to neglect student welfare, teacher welfare and suffered greatly from cutbacks. This school is completely different.
