(2 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - School is a little below average. You have the teachers that care, but you also have the teachers that can't wait until school is done. They don't take bullies seriously. And some of the classrooms watch a lot of television. Yes, the movies are "G" rated, but more than 1 movie a week is too much.
