Some teachers taught too fast and we didn't really learn anything but still had fun in there. Some kids claimed the teachers weren't teaching and was just complaining all day long about the class.

One club I was in was called junior achievement and it helped to build students leadership skills. We presented presentations in front of judges and got rated on them.

But one thing this school needs to improve is their school store prices like a notebook for $5 when at dollar tree it’s for $1 so they just have to lower...
