overall I think union is doing good . the teachers work hard to give education to the students and the principal does an amazing job for keeping everything in line from the rules . one thing I think that should change is mostly the food i feel like if we had more varitiys of food it would be better . I personally like school , but the most major thing that i think should change is our schedules i feel like we should have more than 4 classes and that we should have a break in the middle of the school day so we can just relax because sitting in classes for hours it just brings a lot of stress and anxiety to kids in school.

The thing I like about my school is the students that attend. Most of us are from around the same area as each other so we can relate to a lot. The staff here is iffy. I don't like most of them. They pick and choose favorites. The principle likes to look t girls in a weird way too. It makes me uncomfortable. The food is terrible and the lunch ladies are RUDE.
