- A cyclical public school needing more teacher training then teaching, a good example of a small unequal learning school provided. Students cheat intensively, faculty are blind to the real truth, math department in terrible, student's creativity, and imagination is both insulted by who the upper people say they know what everything is. Hopefully better faculty, as well as community can provide a better school, Ellison isnt the only one in the nation.
