Teachers don't do anything to help the students during coronavirus, they do however do online schooling classes, but this isn't helpful to help most of these students. And the work that my kid shows me is way too much work for them not being in class, especially due to the fact that a lot of these students just started high school, which would be very rough for them. And some students don't have the tech needed to do all these assignments like how my kid doesn't have a working camera on her computer which is needed to take pictures of the assignments and also they want the student to have a phone to scan QR codes which my kid doesn't have a phone because he doesn't really need one until he goes to college or he gets his first car.

Ghetto, teachers often don't know how to teach or are inexperienced. Unsafe environment, the administration Removed, a principal is lazy and doesn't care about the quality of the teachers, counselors can't seem to do their one job and help students, they often just tell you to deal with your classes and do not change them, even after consistent requests. The school seems to just hire whoever they can because no one likes the thought of working in this trashy school.

Poor instruction with inexperienced teachers. Unsafe environment with an administration more concerned with appearances than students.
