(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - MAJOR UPSET WHEN THE GIFTED PROGRAM WAS ELIMINATED AND THE BAND PROGRAM WAS SLASHED DUE TO BUDGET CUTS. WHY BUILD ANOTHER SCHOOL WHEN WE CAN BARELY KEEP THE ONES WE HAVE AFLOAT? YOU DO THE MATH. OR MAYBE THAT WAS NOT IN THE CIRRICULUM DUE TO MORE BUDGET CUTS. THESE YOUNG ADULTS HAVE A HUGE MESS TO CLEAN UP THAT MY GENERATION CREATED. WHO IS GOING TO TEACH THEM HOW TO FIX THIS MESS THAT WE HAVE LEFT IN OUR WAKE???

- I love my school with all my heart and soul and I enjoy being there as a whole. Some of the teachers just don't teach enough for me, it seems like they don't want to be there and they don't love what they do and that upsets me; because I love school very much and I spend most of my time there!
