School Reviews

it is a bad school.
2 5/17/2010
I attended MVE 2005-2006. Most of the the teachers there can care less. When I attended there were no sports and very limited activities. Parents were involved in nothing very supportive of the schools responsibility to teach us. The vast majority of happenings after school, students were not informed of until that day. A math teacher I had would sit on the computer and play checkers, make phone calls during class, and lokk at you as if you were an alien, if you asked a question. Not many activities were available and most of the staff was to focused on dress code instead of teaching. Maybe, this school should try new teachers that the students are not afraid of. Some that might actually teach for once.
