Worrisome patterns of out-of-school suspensions have been identified.

First of all, may I say that the principles do not care about their students. For instance, if anyone accuses you of breaking a rule, you'll be suspended without question. It does not matter whether if you have a solid alibi that proves you could not have broken said rule. 90% of the teachers do not care about their students, and pick favorites. This really explains why test scores have continually dropped over the past few years. There is basically no parent involvement at this school. Bullying is awful, and most of the bullies are teachers or teacher's pets (which explains why those kids are never written up.)
