This school lacks in giving its students ambition and a future to look forward to. Its way of educating its students is in many ways stressful and yet unhelpful. Many teachers can not teach and/or control their class. It also lacks in expanding the students educational horizons by not taking them to educational field trips, and keeping everything in the book instead.
