What I enjoyed about my recent years in FDA III was the diverse programs they offered. There was always something to keep you involved in the community. Whether it was being in student council, national honors society, or taking a trip to Africa. What I would change is not the rule emplied but they way they are emplied. If you enforce restrictions on one kid, do the same to all kids. There should never be a school where they pick and choose which child should follow directions and which shouldn't.

Most of the teachers care about the students education and want to push them to their full extent.
