These officers were tyrants and ruined many children's lives and futures, they should be ashamed. They even took me back to the school and handcuffed me to a chair in their office for 3 hours while my wrists bled & called in head coach Maleskey, who screamed and spit in my face. These individuals are a disgrace to the O'Connor name.

In a time where parents can be pretty demanding, I felt they were great and work hard. Much appreciated.

E-mails are fired out at rapid-fire pace, but some of them leave a newbie bewildered. I'm writing this review in December, and I still feel completely disconnected from the school. Ronal Reagan is certainly one of the more desirable schools in San Antonio, but, if you want to get connected, you'll have to work at it. Good luck!!

So I was trying to open my sisters locker from last year. It wouldn't open. So, I walked to the office and asked why. They told me that it was because they changed the codes. I figure. Unfortunately, I was now late so I asked for a late slip. I know they could give me one because a whole load of students have come in with them. But, these jerks sad no. Nothing else, just no. I walked out. What the heck? I know it's stupid coming from me, a studen, but I want you to see it in my perspective. I am an all A student, in all honors classes. Not all kids are bad.

Start with the administration that will "hear" your voice but they don't listen. They push subjects down to young people who are not ready for the content either morally, emotionally and intellectually. The subjects are mandated by a panel disconnected from the schools and students. Administrators don't have any reason to change the curriculum as all they care about are rankings and money. They have instructors that don't understand their students. They mandate AP subjects to 14 year old ninth graders as if they are 19 and 20 year old college individuals, you cannot choose otherwise and the head of school does nothing! ..

One of them (a coach) had told me once that they "didn't know where to put me" and when I would ask for advice to be better gave me half booty cheek answers. Refused to actually coach kids correctly or effectively. This coach in particular that I'm talking about was the head soccer coach my junior year of high school. I never talked back , always did what I thought they expected ,but yet was still not given the equal opportunity to play or be coached. She teared me down even more when I had bad days and never said anything when I did good. The day I decided to up and quit was when most of my team ganged up on me one morning just shouting horrible things at me making me even more de shuffled mentally. Not all of them did but most of the under class men female dogs did and I was nothing but nice and encouraging to them. Keep in mind, the coaches just stood there and WATCHED them tear me down, I walked off the field and went home. I'm not sure if the coaches there are just flat out miserable and enjoy breaking kids spirits but this clearly still affects me if I'm currently writing a review 2 years later. Also Mrs lane who's the attendance person or whatever she does there is trashy and unprofessional , I told her that my uncle took his life and she asked me why I wasn't really at school and when I told her I was depressed and rather be at work she flat out told me "why do you need money you have beats on your head" (the beats headphones). Which if you're reading this , I BOUGHT them with the money I worked for. She also attempted to embarrass me by trying to call me out saying I didn't want to graduate by asking other students in FRONT OF ME "do you want to graduate" and then proceeded to move onto the next person and ask them the same thing. She asked three or four other students near us when we were in the library to fix whatever we needed TOO graduate. There was about 20-30 kids in the library at the time of this event. I walked out in front of her because it doesn't matter who you are you're NOT going to try and tear down a student in front of their peers who's clearly trying to seek help. I was quite literally willing to risk not graduating because again, my uncle took his life and I had been previously depressed that whole year but yet she didn't care until it was the end of the school year and tried to embarrass me ? Many other students at the time agreed that what she did was wrong and that she's ALSO treated them that way or similar. And yes I do have depression, I have papers for it , my mental health was just not okay that year. It's one thing to give constructive criticism and I know for a fact that I CAN take constructive criticism but it's another when you're tearing down a minor to make yourself feel better. These are grown adults in their 40's or 50's like are you serious ? I hope no one ever has to endure the mental torture I have gone through not just there but in life period. This school needs to re-evaluate their whole coaching staff because their treatment just wasn't right. In no world will that ever be right.

For the most part, there hasn't been too many fights recently or any that lasted. But I want to talk about the teachers. At least 2 of my teachers are picky about the noise in the classroom. They either dislike when it's too quiet or tell us to speak more. This has been bothering me a ton, because when people don't stop talking the teacher will get upset but when they ask for feedback and no one responds except for a shake of the head they go crazy. When it's the same kid volunteering to answer questions the teachers get upset and ask for someone else. Not everyone wants to speak up, afraid of getting the answer wrong or just generally don't want to. The teachers can't seem to understand what's going on through kids heads on a day to day basis, learning is important but understanding your students is too. Now the coaches. Just yesterday me and my friend were leaving the locker room to get to class a minute or two before the bell rang, no big deal really. We were stopped by one of the male coaches and he told us to put our bags down and run across the gym or he'd write us up for "skipping" when class was completely over by now. This was baffling to me because we weren't skipping anything and we weren't trying to be sneaky about it either. The coaches make everything too much of a big deal. For our grades, they usually put a 95 for every "assignment" in the class as a participation grade. We played mat ball one day and the ball didn't even come to me once and I barely got play time. I received a 70 for not participating which dropped my grade down by over 10 points. This is the most stupid format for grading ever because if someone else is grabbing the ball before me I can't just take it from them and throw it. My science teacher is always complaining about my class because we don't answer questions and we're an advanced class, if she hears a little bit of chatter she counts seconds for us to stay after the bell rings and is always giving out warnings to kids who aren't doing much of anything to earn them. Back to the ID's from before. They are useless. We don't use them at all unless we want to go to games for sports, no one checks them and people have lost there's without a care in the world for it. Everyone in this school has been stooped down to a lower level because of these teachers and staff and it's not going to help anyone with a successful future. Instead of teaching us about scale factor in math -which I'm not sure I'll ever use in my life- we could get an early introduction into finances and how to pay for important things that we will need in our every day life ahead. The teacher's don't care about kids problems and one of mine is always telling us we need to learn how to be independent but all she ever talks about is how proud she is of herself and her kids. Thanks for the information I guess?? This school does not deserve to think of calling itself "The Best Middle School in Texas" because who are y'all trying to fool? I'm done with this buffoonery and denial. FMS #1 Exposer - r.b
