I love my school.
1 4/26/2021
I hate this school. I'm dread coming here. The dress code is so extra for no reason. Especially for girls and it's completely unfair. The student's here are flat out rude. People don't know how to be respectful and just follow instructions. It honestly feels unsafe too. There are fights quite often. This should not be happening at any school. I hate that there are so many kids. I'm a new kid who used to go to a school with 60 kids in my grade and coming here makes me so uncomfortable and I feel so squished everywhere I go. It's never just calm. People are yelling from across the halls and getting in each other's way. And I've been pushed so many times. The overwhelming amount of student's in the halls makes me sometimes late to my classes. All the teachers don't really seem to care about anything than you turning in your assignments on time. If I could move away, I would.
