In theory it sounds like it could be a good idea but the site was so complicated that
1. The students didn't know it existed for the first month of school
2. Even after we were told it existed only me and a few friends found out how to access it
3. Even though we could access it it didn't matter since the teachers didn't know how to use it either and couldn't put grades in
We literally went the first quarter of the school year not knowing what our actual grades were until they had to change it back. And as for the lunch I can't really complain about school lunch after my transition from my middle school's lunches to my high school's lunches. Let's just say I felt blessed to have an actual slice of pizza for lunch after having to deal with 7 years of square cardboard strips. |

I normally get straight A's and that's ok with me but the problem I have is my science class. What idiot thought cramming a 7th grade course and an 8th grade course in one year would be smart?! My class is full of all those smart students who always get A's in everything but I'm pretty sure that half our class is failing because the class average is like a 73. Also our school does this stupid thing with BTF's and it stands for Behavior Tracking Form. And like everyone you act out of code you get a negative mark and if you are a goody-two-shoes like me you get positive ones. But aside the point, we host these "BTF parties" where you get like a couple periods off. Last time they threw everyone into a PE field and expected them to have fun. There wasn't any organized games or anything. It was a complete bore. We also have an incompetent "Gifted" teacher. She doesn't even have her degree to teach us and literally has us doing reading assignments which are super easy but completely boring and if you're like me and have ADHD then the entire hour is like banging my head into a wall. Wow I used like this thread to rant entirely about school. Can you tell I hate it? If you paid close attention you even know what grade I'm in and can probably guess my country. But if I'm going to rant more I'll just bring a topic most can relate to. Lunch food. I swear to God that stuff was found from the dumpster. I was just walking into the cafeteria today and saw a roach crawling up the wall. Does anyone else have this problem?

I use to go to public schools so I do know you'd pain, and yeah in the public schools I was that A plus snob then who doodled in class not paying attention, and yeah public school lunches suck, for me I transferred to private school 8th grade they have good lunches nothing like Ruby Tuesdays or Olive Garden though. Last year our food provider, Sage was really good, now we use Flik which imo isn't that good, but is better that public school lunch. And like its a "college prep school" so its not an interactive class, just lectures, and they give freshman 2 hours of homework and like when you also do 2 sports, a play, and D &D school can be stressful, but your not getting slammed to the lockers by seniors...everyone is self-private!
