The best part about the school would probably be that everyone is friends and it is a very tight "community" but that would also be something that is bad. The worst part would most likey be that the people who run the office and the school arent doing a good job at making sure the kids want to go to school or enjoy school. Every step thats taking in the school, we have to watch out for someone watching us even if we're not doing anything that we're not supposed to be doing.
