High school is tough for everyone at times, whether it’s the students or the amount of work. But at my high school, I truly felt supported by my teachers and closest peers. I grew into the person I am today while I was there. At South, you have so many opportunities. There are great clubs, and you can even start your own club like I did! :)
Williamsville South has excellent teachers, however money repeatedly is given more to the band(s) and sports over other arts and writing courses. The district clearly favors their sports and it has caused other departments to have to teach multiple courses in one period (ex. multimedia 2 and communication media) additionally, courses such as those I previously listed are being used essentially for free labor. Students repeatedly had assignments that were used in school events, instead of being taught, they were told they had to figure it out or the school would not have anything for the event.
If this is a parent who is aware of there child being LGBTQ+, please listen carefully. not only will you child probably get ignored by teachers, but they will be silently outcasted by there whole class and have no friends. reconsider sending you child to a more inclusive school, because while I may have survived this place, it does NOT mean you child can. This is meant to be a PSA to all kids who are part of the community. It's not dangerous to go here, but you might just end up with some long lasting mental health problems and trauma.
On a lighter note, I will say there are safe spaces and certain teachers who you can go to for help. The problem is their availability and if their even teaching most days. Many of the teachers here just go on vacation mid-school year or take numerous sick days. This leads to inconsistent teaching and students falling behind and putting their academics before their health.
