I love the school, the positive atmosphere, and all the close relations ships I have formed at JAG. Teachers always push to put their students first, while also being readily available if anyone is struggling.

James A. Garfield is a small school in a small town. Many close rivals, giving great entertainment sports-wise. The school allows for more one-on-one interactions when students need/want it.

teachers don’t teach, they don’t offer tudors, spend most money on athletics and don’t care about student who aren’t involved in sports and extracurricular. administration doesn’t care about feelings only results.

School should be shortened drastically. I would say that I just sit around and stare at a wall almost every period of the day. Putting more work on students isn't a good idea either because its just busy work and increases stress. Maybe we could learn how to operate a business.
