- The teachers and (...)at this school need to pay attention to students being picked on by other students instead of only worrying about their precious test scores that is the only thing they are worried about. this problem is not a new one but the teachers dont seem to care, nothing is ever done about it. The teachers need to start being teachers and making sure the students learn after all isn't that their job.
