H.M. King, i would say the staff is somewhat well educated. Maybe some of the students would care more, if the teachers did. Some of the staff here at H.M.K. are only in it for the kids. Now if you ask me, no one wanted them to teach, they made that choice all on there own. Ive had teachers tell me, personally, that they didnt care for us. They cared for passing us becuase that garentee's there check. I have struggled with this school, for a while now. Not only is it the accademics, but even trying to tell someone they cant have there hair a certian color, or you cannt wear all one color, take those piercings, and gauges out. The whole point of school, along with education is to teach people how to interact with others, and be yourself. How is someone supposed to be themselves if the staff is constanty reminding them of what there doing wrong. Like my hair for example. If the staff foccused more on the work, and education of others, and not outside looks, Then maybe, Only Maybe, will this school change. And if so, Hopefully for the good. The new Principle Mr. Barrton is okay. Other Than his 'Brother, Sister' talk. He tried to get the 'Shirt Tucking' rule to be taken away. But along with everyones hopes, That was not given. So this school, might want to think a bit about the students, and less about checks. I havent seen anything new done to this school. Its still old, and dirty. Maybe hinges on the female bathroom doors would be good. Or at least checking the bathrooms for paper towels, soap, and toilet paper. Well, thats my friends, family, and my own oppinion about this school. Check it out for yourself. These brahma's are sick of it. Hope this makes a diffrence,
-Jennifer.

We just moved here from California and this school has made mistake after mistake after we got here. I have heard many bad things about this school. I believe all of it now since it has happened to us. I am trying to find him a new school next year. There's no way I am having him spend another year here.
