I like Russel Middle school because it has a great home/Friendly environment. The teachers all show a growth mindset and they teach kids how to get in that habit. I think If I could change Things I would change some of the clothing ideas and bag ideas. In our school we cant have drawstring bags I think that is a terrible idea because if you think about it those bags help with efficiency and being prepared. two things that are good in a school. That is what I think about my school.

An absolute nightmare and faculty are quick to respond with attitude when you address wrong doing. Leaderships conflict management approach is unacceptable.
