(1 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - theres not enough help at the school. and building more buildings and spending more money for what? it's not crowded....spend more money on better teaching and principles!
I was told by a source in school that they need more help...so why make a school bigger when you don't even have enough help don't make sense to me.Or to many parents that are scratching there heads.
just my opinion
