Look at that! Water is running! Water is definitely 10/10 straight from the water fountain! Or you can get water bottles Deja Blue, Dasani is mad even though it is better. Then Evian comes in and we all know the only thing they have going for them is the commercials with dancing babies. Ice Mountain is good though it is spring water. Did I mention I like water? They also have that envy drink there which encoureges you to drink energy drinks. They have milk too. And if you’re lucky, you can have your ice cream melt and just drink it. And there’s Core Plus which is where you just do homework and fun stuff like watch movies about people turning teachers into babies, (maybe sponsored by Evian) you can drink water there too! There is a haunted locker though, it was built on an ancient Indian burial ground. If you want to know what locker, its 6008 right next to mine. Maybe I could drill a hole through and get extra room. Aparently they’re is this kid who sells fruit snacks for clay cash sadly not water. I’m just saying there is running water. There are Coke machines that only sell water and expired apple and orange juice. And if you want a cheese burger than get a cheese burger. Some kids say what are those, and I just say “Nike Free Run 4.0” And its getting kinda late so I have to wrap this up

10/10 Would Run the water again

You see… All of these reviews are written by students – which mean they’re 100% accurate; right?

Parents send their children to school with the best of intentions, believing that’s what they need to become productive and happy adults. Many have qualms about how well schools are performing, but the conventional wisdom is that these issues can be resolved with more money, better teachers, more challenging curricula and/or more rigorous tests.

But what if the real problem is school itself? The unfortunate fact is that one of our most cherished institutions is, by its very nature, failing our children and our society.

School is a place where children are compelled to be, and where their freedom is greatly restricted — far more restricted than most adults would tolerate in their workplaces. In recent decades, we have been compelling our children to spend ever more time in this kind of setting, and there is strong evidence (summarized in my recent book) that this is causing serious psychological damage to many of them. Moreover, the more scientists have learned about how children naturally learn, the more we have come to realize that children learn most deeply and fully, and with greatest enthusiasm, in conditions that are almost opposite to those of school.

I didn’t type any of this.

The school focus is primarily education and excellence which leads to impressive results but I went through three years feeling invisible. Like I had two people (staff members) who would actually listen to me. I know it’s immature of me to come on here and write a poor review, but I have many times attempted to bring this to the staff but they are stubborn in the fact that they “care” and listen to the kids at the school. If you’re going through life solely to get what society recommends, being a straight education without diversity from the norm. If you’re like me and see yourself diverging from the worn path than this isn’t the best place. I got through, but I’m no better of a person because I went here. I’m just as I would’ve been at any other school like it. It’s not special in anyway besides the fact that they focus solely on education and not much else. I do see them trying to make change however. I suggest life paths. Let a student do what they see themselves being happy doing. That’s the end of my rant. Don’t listen if you don’t want to. I’m never coming back after these last two days.
