It's a waste of such a beautiful campus and facilities, the kids take it for granted and do not realize how lucky they are to have so many opportunities for them to succeed in whatever field they want to be in. There are laptops for every other classroom, state-of-the-art sports facilities, classrooms specially designed for cooking, construction, beauty, dance, drama but honestly, the students don't deserve it, because they don't want to study hard in the first place.

The students were incredibly disruptive during class and so we would end up learning nothing. I saw students around me getting bullied, fights happening everyday during break and nothing would be done about it--this is what makes it difficult to say that the management was good.
