Belvidere High School. In the four and a half years I've been there I have been shot down by amminstrators, accused of things I had not done, been called "dumbass" by one of the teachers (Shopski) for asking a question about an assignment, picked on by the vice principal (Pate), and ignored by teachers who I've needed help from. I've only come across a few good teachers in the school who take the time to guide me to a brighter future (Ex: Andy Werhane, Stewart Bahling, Dan Koenings, Danelle Johnson, David Allen, Jon Hannel, and Shahrazad Sheikhali, Michelle Helgeson). I have had many teachers over these years but only a select few have actually done their job. Teaching should be about helping students learn new ways to think. Instead we're stuck memorizing words and definitions. Today I was accused of skipping classes this semester when I have not once skipped a single class. I've seen students getting bullied and nothing said or done about it. Last week I stepped up and stopped a bully from attacking another student. The administration does absolutely nothing and most of them aren't even qualified for their jobs. I wish the best for this school as I am finishing in December and I really hope the school does something about the majority of their teachers and amminstrators being low quality and disrespectful to students. I am not one to write reviews online but I had to go to the extent of creating a Yelp account to show my disgratitude towards this place of education. read more
