  • I MEAN ROOSEVELT IS COOL ITS JUST THE TEACHERS N THE SECURITY OFFICERS. FOR ONE THE SECURITY OFFICERS DO TO MUCH THEY TRY TO MAKE A BIG DEAL OVER THE LITTLE THINGS. THEN THE TEACHERS ARE NO BETTER. THEY GET ATTITUDE TO MUCH AND THEY GET TO TALK TO US LIKE WE CRAZY BUT WHEN IT COMES TO US WE HAVE TO BE QUIT AND IT IS NIT FAR. THEN THE DISCIPLINARIAN JUST DO TOO TOO MUCH I MEAN I UNDERSTAND THAT WE BE ACTING A FOOL SOMETIMES BUT WE GET SUSPENDED TO LONG FOR SOMETHING THAT'S SO SMALL FOR EXAMPLE I GOT SUSPENDED FOR 15 DAYS BECAUSE IT WAS A FIGHT AND I WAS STANDING THERE. THE WHOLE SCHOOL WAS RIGHT THERE BUT THEY JUST PICKED ME OUT OF THE CROWD. ITS JUST SOME THINGS THAT THAT SCHOOL NEED TO WORK O. THEN THE UNIFORMS IS RIDICULOUS. IM JUST TIRED OF ROOSEVELT

  • Well I'm currently a senior at Roosevelt and yes we do have to wear uniforms what the big deal. The problems is the students they dont want change and they dont want to adapt to a good learning environment. Istead they want to continue to not follow the rules. Uniforms, teachers,hoodies,etc. is not the issue adapting to a change, following rules and becoming a better student/person in life is the issue not Roosevelt. I love my school and I'm going to graduate knowing that I tried to do my part reguardless of everyone and their decissions.

  • Roosevelt was never the best school but it was my school. I had fun there met some good people and the teachers I had did their best to give me the best education they could. Every teacher I had smiled when I and the rest of the students walked in. The principal is a good person who was trying to make the school better. Their rules did seem weird. I never understood why you would punish a uniform violation. But all in all I will always have Roosevelt pride.
