It ain't that bad here some of the teachers i don't like but our principle is pretty cool. We should be able to wear hats, i don't see anything in our handbook about hats so I should be allowed to wear them. The work usually isn't that bad but here lately we've had tons of work which im not a fan of.

Teachers just don't care. They rarely take the time to help the students one on one and fail to keep in contact with parents unless the children are in trouble.
