Teachers at my school are very intelligent . They do anything necessary to make sure that we be students understand what we are doing . Communication about school work and anything they feel that they should speak with you about is something they never lack . Each teacher however has their own style of teaching , some teachers break it down and orher teachers will do individual group teaching sessions . Grading is very consistent , every grade we get goes into the grading book and they show us progress reports all the time .
