There are some nice and supportive staff but others in my opinion are controlling and don't seem to care for students wellbeing (maybe I am missing something). Some students are singled out and are more likely to be chosen as a \"troublesome student\" because teachers don't like them or they have done something before. Mr Kingsley I think runs the school a bit further down as his experiences with schooling are very different and any attempt at relatability fails or is drastically off. He(Mr Kingsley) is more strict on uniform then ensuring kids actually learn, I imagine that this problem is spread across many secondary schools however I have a huge problem with a lack of motivation to learn and it is due to never seeing any positive to gaining knowledge and always thinking of presentation so when people try to work they are stopped and when they are stopped they are complained at for their amount of work done.","languageCode":"en"},"originalText":{"text":"I am a student so take my opinions with a large chunk of salt(why I added extra star).

Some students are singled out and are more likely to be chosen as a \"troublesome student\" because teachers don't like them or they have done something before. Mr Kingsley I think runs the school a bit further down as his experiences with schooling are very different and any attempt at relatability fails or is drastically off. He(Mr Kingsley) is more strict on uniform then ensuring kids actually learn, I imagine that this problem is spread across many secondary schools however I have a huge problem with a lack of motivation to learn and it is due to never seeing any positive to gaining knowledge and always thinking of presentation so when people try to work they are stopped and when they are stopped they are complained at for their amount of work done.","languageCode":"en"},"originalText":{"text":"I am a student so take my opinions with a large chunk of salt(why I added extra star).
