We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

When I went to the restroom, there was a sound in the ceiling. I poked my head up and saw a weird creature staring at me. It had blonde curly hair and jewelry, was 3ft tall, and growled. I jumped down, ran into the hallway, knocked over a kid, and the monster chased me. I threw the kid at it and ran to Tastee Freeze. Later, kids said a monster was eating people. I fought it till sunset, won, and got a parade. After graduating, I learned it was a special student. The doctor diagnosed me with schizophrenia. :D
