I want teachers to have evaluations once every few years to check their ability to teach, because some teachers have questionable teaching methods that discourage students from doing their best.

pretty good but boring, the foods bad but there's lots of diversity and a handful of good teachers. i enjoy my time there but can't wait to leave.
