(1 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - When I went to this school, I never in a million YEARS would I think a school like this existed. it is one of the and worst disciplined school I have ever been to. the teasing was unimaginable and I would never want to punish a child so badly as to send them to this school. I'm sorry, but it is the truth. I'm not saying the teachers were mean acttually, they were rather nice and did their job very well,infact. but the discipline made me give this school an F. I am writing this because I was one of those kids that were teased. And also a witness to the teasing while a teacher stood by and watched doing nothing. once again I am not forcing anyone to agree with my opinion. I have now moved to a new school {thankfully} and wish all the current students good luck and I hope you don't suffer too much as to leave you with nightmares for the rest of your life. to those teachers who did nothing to stop the teasing all I can say is you were never there when I and other students needed you the most. Those few rare selected teachers who really cared and WENT THE EXTRA MILE,
THANK YOU. Yours truly, Former student.
