9/24/2019

As a student at blair I kniw a thing or two about the kids there. First it is a problem with bullying with me and many others. Now this is a new year and things have changed. At least I think. But I have no complaints about the teachers and staff. Just some of the kids there is all.

Don’t send your kids here. This is a rough school of bullies!!!!!!!! These kids love to fight and have no respect for others. As a parent, I don’t see many parents involved with their kids. The kids are free to terrorize and the poor teachers have to deal with the disrespectful kids. I walked in the...
