For the most part this school is a nice place However it has a few glaring problems Most notably perhaps are the ipads that are issued to every student on campus These things were hailed by the district to be the next bi For the most part this school is a nice place However it has a few glaring problems Most notably perhaps are the ipads that are issued to every student on campus These things were hailed by the district to be the next big leap in education but what we got were mediocre underpowered toys that only took us several steps back The ipads have become a major bottleneck that hinders productivity in the classroom Between their pisspoor performance and them being a massive incentive for procrastination it takes forever to get work done in the class with these damn things To be perfectly honest I would celebrate like mad if these things were taken out of service and thrown in the trash Its a much more fitting home for these abominable things than in the classroomnnAnother problem is the way the school is run The math department is a complete joke with teachers constantly quitting and being replaced by inexperienced newhires who are barely capable of controlling their class let alone teaching effectivelynnThis brings me to my third point discipline many of the teachers here do nothing to keep their classes under control many classrooms become complete madhouses the second students are left to their own devices And thats when the teacher is IN the room If the teacher leaves the room for whatever reason then youd better plug your ears because the defecation is about to hit the oscillationnnMy final point is in regards to the communication between staff and students or the lack thereof Want to get into contact with the math department good luck Need to send an email to a teacher many dont even pay attentionnnOverall this place isnt that bad at least compared to some other schools in the valley However the school still has some glaring issues that need to be resolved and any parent who sends their child here should be mindful of these issues and prepare accordinglynnThank you for your time more ... hide ...
