I think I would like to see a change in the admin. They hire un qualified people, and let them get away with murder. Some of the things the admin had done should result in immediate firing and for some of them jail time.

Sports and support of sports is great. Math teachers however hardly know the subject they're teaching and it sets students up for failure when going to the next level especially when the only good math teacher is the highest level.
