(2 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I must say that this school has treated me with respect and fairness but I cannot say this for everyone. I have seen violence that most high school students probably have not and never will. I hear things happening throughout the school that would give you the chills. I see chalk often run out and the teacher has to go to another classroom and get some chalk from there. Racism is lessening but is still a problem in the school. As much as they are trying to stop these problems, I cant say that they are doing a good job. One reason I feel this way is because of thier rule of IDs. They say a ID must be worn at all times so they know who is coming into they building. That would make sense if the prevented anyone who did not have a ID from coming into the school. Instead, they give them detention. What if a high school dropout comes into the school with a weapon without a ID. A the school staff give him/her a detention but still allow him/her to come in the school premises. D+ is a grade suits that suits this school because of the stated reasons.
