I actually had one teacher make a rude comment about my body figure once. Another was extremely racist towards white people and felt the need to talk about her views on it everytime she taught a class. She also insulted the way some students would wear religious clothing.

At first the student told me that they have to line up over 15mins and the teachers dont care and take time of their learning. The worst part is thag the lower students who think they are \"bad\" and have low grades stand next to the Head Of Year \"Mrs Ahmed\" and act like they are the assistants but in reality show no respect and mess about while Mrs Ahmed thinks its acceptable. The hoy treats the year 10s like little kids. She treats them like pets giving doughnuts and vouchers. The student that I know said that it feels like in nursery and not in year 10 where they are going to do Gcse next year. The student also said that the only 4 or 5 teachers are really good teachers and the rest dont explain how to do things niether teach properly. There are lots of fights inside the school and outside. Bullying youngers, showing disrespect. Mr Cahill does nothing and doesnt even consider helping. Meanwhile a teacher like Mrs Ahmed is treating the kids like pets. I dont think she understands that the bad kids wont pass their Gcses because they got a doughnut. Inside the school building its a mess especially the toilets and litter is left everywhere. Assistants of Mr Cahill are rude and barley do anything good. The school worries about lineing up good rather than getting good grades. The HOY said if year 10 students get more than 20 detentions then everyone will atentd a saturday detention.
