School Reviews
3 3/2/2021
Since virtual had started, the virtual students are singled out. They don't get the same privileges as in class students. They get more work than class students. They do not get to participate in raffles and things that in class students do. It isn't these children's fault to be kept safer at home. It is a fact of life. So why punish them.
