Just finished my last year in this school, to be honest I have a huge since of freedom now. Teachers themselves are very encouraging and supportive, but I feel as if they simply don't do enough to help out students with their struggles. There is a good teacher here and there, but many of them have very little disciplinary actions or too much. I mean at some point I got scolded for accidentally getting a virus on the school laptop. Another time I received a faulty laptop, and still had to pay for it as well even though I clearly wasn't the problem. Teachers in this school never seem to here out the students, and classmates and I have had many problems due to things that we weren't even in control of. It seems as if the whole staff, other than the custodians and a few other teachers, are coming at you for no apparent reason. Another problem I have is with specific teachers. I obviously won't name them, but I definitely didn't enjoy my experience with them whatsoever. Some would come out with the most ridiculous reasons to not allow other classmates and I to submit any late assignments. Some would end up talking about things too personal for a school environment, and that really either weirded out students, or made them angry. Some of these teachers would simply "give up" with the students, and it seems very much so that these teachers have a hatred for some students. Some teachers that I had in previous years had these moto's of not "believing in discipline", that this would lead to absolute chaos in the classrooms. School lunches have improved through out my four years in this school, but they are still quite bad, and hope that they continue to improve in the coming years. I mean, I had a literal allergic reaction after eating food and had to spend at the hospital overnight. Absolutely insane. I hope some of the younger students get the courage to speak up like none of us did, because the whole disciplinary system needs a change. I will definitely look at my middle school years as some of the best, because of my friends, but my worst, because of how illogical the staff was.

There's seemingly nothing to do when it comes to clubs and such. Also, the teachers do not explain things well and do not treat students equally. I have a classmate who is often insulted by his teachers and it is not teasing, either. They are mean to him and they don't give him a chance. I also get ignored. Other people are more important and it isn't the people who need help, it's the people who play sports. Also, I had an ENGLISH teacher say "I is" and she is just really bad at spelling and at English and I don't know how she got hired-
