I love going to this school. The only thing is that they got rid of all drawing and painting classes. =( But, the sports are extremely competitive, and they push you to do your best. The teachers are available a lot at lunch for you to get help. But, one other bad thing, is it is EXTREMELY overcrowded at lunch. You cannot walk down the halls without seeing a group of people.

As of 2014, nineteen states still allow corporal punishment – spanking and paddling the most common choices – in their public schools. However, some argue that not only are these punishments physically harmful, they also are disproportionately administered to students of color. As a result, House democrats have taken up the issue in a new bill that would ban all forms of corporal punishment nationwide.
