I like somethings about this school, but the teachers i think they should go to school before they teach school. I mean almost all of you teachers.. Im sorry but, i havnt learned the correct stuff since 1st grade. I tell my parents what I have learned, and they say that's wrong so I want smarter teachers. Im going to 6th grade so I feel undertaught at this school sometimes
