Bearden High School is a carefree school. I will admit, some teachers actually teach their subject and do what they are supposed to. But, a majority of the teachers are carefree or just decide to not teach at all. In this high school, you can get by with almost anything. They are very laid back in most cases which can be in favor of a few students. There is no school spirit and almost none of the students care about what is going on at the school and do not care to participate.

However, I've realized as my senior year has progressed that the staff here is somewhat careless about the school we go to and how we will get it paid for. The staff also seems to gossip about how "lazy" we are, when in actuality we're doing our best, our staff just won't help guide us.

I feel more emphasis on student activities would improve the school in many ways. Also a improved curriculum would help improve the academic reports of many students even the ones that need attention and help with their academics.
