There are a handful of amazing teachers, but overall, the toxic community and complete dismissal of any intensive coursework means that Fordland alumni are often forced to enter a trade school due to lack of knowledge.

Despite the long history that me and Fordland have, I have really enjoyed my time here. The classes are all simplistic enough, but offer enough challenge for anyone willing to pursue them.
