Name three things that you hate about school. Describe in detail what three things keep you from enjoying the learning experience. What can be done to change your attitude towards school? Do you think that the things you feel should be improved to make coming to school more enjoyable are realistic?


The three things I hate about school are, our food, our kids that think there all that, and also some of the teachers. The schools food is awfull,it never has the same taste that it normally has. For example if they give mash potatos it would'nt taste the same. The lunch lanes are long as hell and I hate that as well. Many think that the more the merry'er but I say no. I think that they sould put not two lanes but four lanes.
Kids in the school think that they are made of gold. They have way of walking thatt nobody can touch them.
