I would like to see change in the attitudes and work ethics of the staff because I believe if the staff cared for the students more, there would be a difference in students attitudes and how they respect the staff. As well as more requirements for students to get into the school. Since they pretty much allow anyone to get admitted into the school, we get all kinds of kids that don’t care about school and often cause more harm than good to other fellow students. I believe if they made stricter requirements, you would see students that get admitted would be a higher percentage of students that care and want to learn to do well in the workforce then those that don’t care about school whatsoever.
