The administration is very poor in dealing with issues. Kids don't really know any better and they bully and discriminate. However, the administration doesn't do anything to teach the children to respect differences and to be kind and thoughtful. There are no consequences delivered to kids that do the bullying, either.

The school is becoming more and more diverse but with that comes bullying from students toward these new students. It is a problem despite the school mantra to be kind.
