I hate Rougon. I totally wish my mom would move me to another school ( False River Acadamy). The food RemovedS, some of the teachers are really mean, and there's no other sport but basketball. And the only side thing we have is to choose between chour or P.E. and i think that is unfair because other schools have extra curricular activities and we could at lease have something like cheerleading because a lot of people take gymn astics and want to do cheerleading but we don't even have that. And get this, we have a whole field in the back of our school with a bunch of baseball stuff but we dont play any baseball. I as a student would really like it if something changed.
