What school district is University Place Primary part of?
this school is a mess. I am a real student that goes to this school. most of the teachers are good and empathic but, very few of them don't pay attention to your problems and just punish you for no reason. my teacher is a very good person which is good, most of the teachers are. now, let's talk about education. they make learning hard and stressful. on top of that, they have so many rules at recess. that makes you have bad thoughts during school, which can make it hard to concentrate. if the rules at recess were fun and made sense then we would be in a good mood instead of a bad one. not all the rules are bad though. like no stopping on the track, it makes sense since you don't wanna cause traffic. but, at morning assembly they want you to have a book out before it starts, BUT THEY DONT LET YOU EVEN FINISH A SENTANCE. so want even the point of getting the book out anyway. I would recommend coming to this school if they changed some rules. other than that is OK.
