If I had the choice to not choose any stars, I would. I am a tenth grader at this school and there are many issues with this school that I feel uncomfortable to be here.Out of the nearly 15 teachers that I have had in this school I ve only truly learned from one.I know that this is a Performing Arts school but majors are overated and academics are underated. They are worried more about their image than their students feelings. Racial awareness is even an issue at this school. There are so many non-black people (mostly white) running around using the N like it s anything and the factuality doesn t even notice or they just turn the other way. Half of the things that they tell you at orientation, is a lie. We barely even use our iPads in my major. In fact, we write for a whole half hour. And no, I m not in a creative writing major. If you were to send your child to this school and they had a problem with a teacher there is no one to go to. Even if you do go to someone they won t do anything. I m in the tenth grade and I didn t even know that we had a counselor nor who she was until this year. Don t be fooled by the whole ipad thing because that just makes it harder for us to retain information when we can look up the answers to anything with the click of a button. I fully understand the uniform policy but it s completely ridiculousness especially expensive. We have to wear skirts during the winter and we re not even allowed to come in with anything other than stockings under nor are we allowed to to change once we get there or before we leave. We also have to wear dress shoes to school, even if there s ice out. And the uniform shirts for girls trap in sweat and stench. The material is itchy and cheap, not durable at all either. I barely lasted a year with a uniform set. And if I have to pay so much for my uniform why aren t I getting my money s worth? Let s talk about how this school make me feel uncomfortable. My high school theater teacher especially makes me feel uncomfortable. In fact, it is because of her actions today that I am writing this review. She s very dismissive, disrespectful, and degrading. She accused a student of plagiarism because she didn t write formally during her 30 minute journaling but used words such as abandoned and internal in an assignment. For someone who teaches at an all iPad school , she barely knows how this technology works. I ve never seen someone so unprofessional in my life. She makes friends with her students and gets mad enough to disturb the entire class, cause a whole scene, and kick them out of her major when they joke around with her. Then she claims that she s not our friend. Then she claims that she loves that person the next day. I don t aspire to be an actress but we are learning the same exact things as we were last year. From what I have heard, there was a petition made up last year for the sole purpose to get her fired. But the administration doesn t do anything about it and no matter who complains about her she ll still remain at the school. Within just a week or so of being in our major, about 4 or 5 people switched out of our major because of her demeanor. She gives us the option to switch out of the major if we don t like it but when a student went to switch she wouldn t allow them. I feel as thought there is no one there to hear us out when we have complaints and the fact that no one has done anything about her is the reason the she thinks she can go around and do and say whatever. Students who aren t even in her classes don t like her because of her demeanor. She s 20 minutes late to class half of the time and then she goes to the bathroom with her little make up bag for a good 10 to 15 minutes. She was even gone for 25 minutes once. She also takes our phones in the beginning of class, which I don t mind, but when we tell her that we don t have our cell phones she accuse us of lying and has even gone so far as to frisking a student. She definitely has her favorites and it is definitely apparent.
