This school is cool I'm on the majorette team and I really like it we do the best dances and competitions. The teacher are scared to send children out of class; we do nothing in class.

I like the fact we do nothing in the class. Teachers
are scared to send the bad kids to office because
then they get in trouble for not managing their class-
rooms. Worley is a joke/ come have fun!
