My positive take aways from Archbishop Shaw is the brotherly environment and the teachers are yearning for students to excel. Though, some teachers, I feel that they lack the knowledge or credentials to teach the subjects they are teaching but those who do show that they can excel in teaching are very good at having students learn and understand their lessons.

As a student at shaw for the 2010-2011 school year it was the worst school that I had ever been to most teachers have favorites and the students are ignorant and disrespectful towards each other. This school needs more rules and more respect for their fellow class mates and teachers.
