If you could change anything about your school's environment, what would it be?

"Give kids an hour during the day to do homework and ask their teachers questions like a study hall. Also make school more spirited!"

"Lower the impossibly high expectations"

"The fact that it is so structured down to every minute, no freedom or room for individuality"

"More classes that would be avalible to more students, classes fill up too quickly"

"The emphasis on grades. The anxiety created from earning a certain grade point overwhelms teenagers. Learning should be the main focus"

"The teachers"
