6/7/2019

The teaches at Dixon Smith Middle School are completely disrespectful. They are homophobic and can't explain good. Almost everyone in my math and reading class failed. But overall Dixon makes me have a lot of stress. And the janitor are underpaid. All the kids at Dixon cuss and some have lost there virginity.

He has been extremely happy and adjusted amazingly well. Th...

I love it but there are these huge things about bullying and how they won't accept it, but a girl I know always gets her locker slammed in her face and made fun of right in front of the teachers and they don't do anything about it. hypocrites!
