In my time at this school I have not learned a single thing that I haven't had to teach myself. Many of my teachers don't actually teach and just hand us a worksheet and tell us "go get em champ". Tenure allows teachers to barely do anything except use online or AI generated assignments and tell us to do work while they sit back and watch football or sit on their phones with no punishment. There's a problem with these exact same teachers not putting in grades until the very last day that they can before the quarter ends. if I don't know my grades before the end of the quarter then I don't know how I'm doing and I don't know if I need help with my classes. and usually when students ask about their grades the teachers get rude despite the fact that teaching is the job that they chose. The only reason I gave the teacher section 2 stars is because of the VERY few nice and understanding teachers I have. Also the custodians and lunchroom ladies are lovely people.

Their band says vulgarities and yell "losers"(although they have very few good people) to other bands, who only say good things to them. They have made my senior year daughter cry because she has met so many good bands who have b...
