They do not give homework, even in fundamental classes like speech or Spanish.

The teachers barely teach the STAAR test and that is only one week before testing. Unqualified teachers, usually football coaches without proper degrees.

It was a mediocre experience. Though the busdrivers should have been dealt with instead of principles who lie for them. And that they shouldnt have a position in the actual school buildings
