I have jumped around the Alamance Burlington school system for some time, and I can easily say it's a good district. Alamance is not the richest nor most popular district in the United States. It works hard to give a decent education, but it lacks in some basic needs. Alamance lacks in the control of their students, to many students are verbally harassed by their fellow man because of poor management and overall lackluster care for their wellbeing. Many kids get a free pass because that is what the teachers are told to do, the pity for the individual with less values in the eyes of the school will be allowed to fight, pillage and destroy, they will put less value in students they don't as valuable. I love my school and I love my classmates, but no one is put on a Peta stool, rather the less fortunate will be left behind and allowed to fend for themselves when all said and done. It's almost like the school believe the bullying is a small price to pay for the many who will be successful.
I will say that my middle school experiences were not great and I think that education and care towards younger students could have definitely been improved when I was younger. The high school I went to was an advanced and new one that partnered with a college and did not have its own sports. It also uniquely prepared us for college so I am unable to evaluate other high schools and such on the way they achieve that for there students. From what I have heard and experienced, Alamance-Burlington schools range from poor to average so there is definite improvement to be made in a multitude of areas. I've had many good experiences with teachers so I think that they are a great start and one of the best things about these schools.
My favorite part of high school is the clubs that we have at school. We have so many clubs at our school that it is impossible to not find your niche. There is truly something for everyone. I was a part of National Honor Society, Future Farmers of America, Link Crew, and the Student Government. I loved meeting the new people that I would go along to work with. Being a part of these clubs also taught me valuable leadership skills.
