The school itself is fine I guess. But sometimes I dread going to school because I have to face the rude people and the bullying. This year they are attempting to enforce the rules but honestly, they are just getting on my nerves. We need a definite health inspection, that's all I have to say

I have never seen so many people getting paid to work less than the homeless. You'd have a more productive conversation with a crack head at 7-11 at 3 am.
