Few teachers are difficult to learn from or difficult to get along with. A few are hard on students, but mostly all the teachers are very understanding. The teachers give us chances to make up for bad behavior or bad quality of work. They are mostly very easy to approach. They are also very friendly and helpful.

Candor's focus is on sports over education. They are very proud of their athletic record, but little emphasi...
