I GO TO UNDERWOOD

I became a user for this site ONLY because of this article. I came from a big city school to Underwood and I hated the small school thing at first, but now, I THANK GOD my parents make me go there. The enviroment is so much different because the teachers actually care about us ( the students ) and we care about them and actually don't want to dissapoint them by failing. Also I tend to get better grades because the students I go to class with mostly get good grades ( not all of course but an overwhelming majority ) . It might not make sense to some of you but when your one of the ONLY kids in a particular class failing and other students asking you why you feel EMBARRASSED and WANT ( go figure ) to do better and the teachers are always there to help you with that. There are alot of my freinds that came from Fergus and there is alot of BEHIND THE SCENES STUFF you adults don't here about. At Underwood this stuff happens far less, if not at all. It really makes you want to learn and go to school when you can laugh and have fun during every class with the teachers THEMSELVES when they are teaching. Of course Underwood IS NOT PERFECT BUT I CAN NEVER THINK OF GOING TO A BETTER SCHOOL B/C I CAN'T IMAGINE ONE THAT IS BETTER.
