The teachers are willing to help you and they do offer High School courses for those who are on the accelerated track.

The school has basic procedures to ensure the safety of the students. There are random anonymous searches monthly, and there is lock on all doors with only access being through the front during the day.

laws without morals are useless" its true. and especially so in this case. they will do what they want with you in their administration. if you make one of the higher up people in the school mad, they wont care at all. they now live to mess up what little good things you may have in your 13 yr old life. but if they like you? "HEEEy dont worry about you beating up that girl over there, one day detention should be fine." their administration barely follows the rules by following the rules too much and nitpicking; but only when they want to.
