Many of the teachers are unprofessional or poor at teaching their specific subjects. It would be nice to see better care for the students. Teaching them about real world finances and how to do things like taxes, resumes, ect.

While it goes without saying that we are in the countryside and that we are already in an area of low expectations, the experiences at the school on a day to day basis are shocking. The students as a whole do not care about their...
