is it the people in the school that are awful, the school, or both?
most of the teachers are competent and good, save for a few. like the spanish teacher who ogles all the girls in his class. he's not very good.
the administration is... okay. the 9-10 dean is known for letting the athletic boys off without much punishment. but the administration recently has done a huge shuffle of math teachers for no reason at all and we're using super annoying tests now. like i have to retake it because i went down 4 points the last time we took it even though i have the highest score out of the whole school and ranked way above a 12th grade level.
it's mostly the students that are stuff. almost all are on welfare, almost all are in gangs and get into fights on a weekly basis after school, we have way too many teenage pregnancies, kids don't care about getting in trouble, and they sure as hell don't care about their grades.
