The teachers here are amazing they really care about you as a person and your education. They establish relationships with the students that can make your experience here amazing and unforgettable. The one thing I would like to see changed though is the grading. We use standards-based grading but in college, you don't use that type of grading so it sets us up for a bigger challenge in college.
