I would say my overall four years at Dover high school, has not been partically bad. I enjoy most days where I have my areas where I like to do work or relax. I would say a negative expiernce at my school is sometimes the teachers, the teachers do not really teach making the work a bit difficult.

The school allows racism to contiune in the halls. They erase the voices of black students and lgbt students and jewish students. The administration turns a blind eye to it.
