Most teachers are of the average kind. Some are slightly sub-par, and don't seem to care as much, but there are also those who make every class an exciting learning experience. They make going to this school more than bearable-their classes are the highlights of my day. Overall, the teachers here do have some room for improvement, but otherwise, I'm happy going to school here.
