School Reviews
1 4/14/2021
0/5 stars. Before COVID, there was no time that we could talk. Not in class (obviously), we did not have recess or anything; we had to stay quiet at breakfast/lunch, and we could not talk at dismissal. Usually in the classroom, there is a water fountain and a restroom in the hallway. This room did not have either. We could only use the bathroom twice a day, but luckily there was this nice teacher that let me go more. Here was the cruel part: There was this one kid, who talked. No water before or after P.E. No water at all (unless it was lunch, then they had these painfully small cups). 30 minutes of nonstop exercise, summer heat (because it's hot in Mississippi), and no water. I can see why they restricted some sites on the iPads, but they restricted literally everything. Learning games, educational sites, and more. These restrictions are dumb, because we can use a certain link to get into Facebook and Reddit (Those are the only ones I found). They threaten to take away our iPads of we act badly, but they restrict so many things that it won't even make a difference if we use pencil and paper.
