I do not like the school I attend because the lunchroom, gymnasium, and cafeteria are all in one location. I would prefer for all three to be separate.

I like attending Alfred A. Benesch, but one of my teachers makes my school experience horrible. He is a very strict teacher and when he is mad he will take it out on the students. Also his rules are not fair for everyone.

My opinion of this school varies because sometimes the teachers are likeable and sometimes they are not. The reason being for this is because they can be nice one minute and then the next they will do excessive yelling. Alike reactive behaviors are not punished the same way throughout the school.
