Got robbed of my award just because of one incident that ruined my hardwork of 8 years of trying to get a medal. The staff here and main power people are targeting towards kids and not letting them be free. The bullying is on another level to where kids are scared. So no I wouldn't recommend this.

Home work seems counter productive alot of the homework could be done at school so students would have more time to do activities at home after spending 7 hours doing in class then going home to do almost 6 classes worth of homework which is about 30minutes per class of your lucky which results in 180minutes or 3 hours of home work!
