Academe of the Oaks Reviews

I am grateful to the Academe of the Oaks High School for many things, like my friends, some lasting memories, and for preparing me for the work load that I would later face while at College, but there are a good bit of things that are wrong with their system. First, teachers who were clearly biased. No, this isn't just I got a bad grade and now I am angry. In the classes I'm talking about I actually had pretty good grades, but when I needed help I was met with anger and attitude as well as a complete lack of patience, and when I saw this same teacher with her favorite students she was nothing but patient as well as nice and understanding. There was also a case where a different teacher graded two of the exact same paper and gave one student who he had never like a lower grade. Then there are cases where the teacher lose your work and give you an F in the class for it.

The sense of community has been unparalleled, such that it is almost impossible to remake elsewhere. The sense of freedom of thought that the school encourages is something I had not felt previously in an education system. while there are areas that aren’t spectacular, however that is largely attributable to the small size of the student population and therefore lack of funding
What I like about Academe is that I was able to express myself, in any fashion that I wanted to, and not be ashamed to be able too. The school is very diverse and it has prepared for the real world because the real world doesn't look like me or think like me. I have to be able to adapt to new environments.
