Classic City I feel is a place away from home. The City has opened many opportunities for me as well as many other people who are or have been at Classic City Performance Learning Center. It has taken some people from hanging on the block all day to working their way to getting a high school diploma.
I feel as though a lot of the time Classic City is looked at as being a “Dropout school.” I’m not going to say that it isn’t just due to the fact that a lot of people who come here have dropped out. Myself? Well yeah I have dropped out but look at what I’m doing now. Classic City is the only place that has given me a second chance and I’m glad that I’m taking it.
Classic City’s staff is one of the best groups of people that I know. Everyone who works here are the down right best teachers on earth. All the teachers hear want to see us get our diplomas. They will bend over backwards to help you out and I think that is what everyone needs. Not only will they help you at school but they also try to see if they can help you in life. That is something that I think every teacher should be required to do.
Another major thing that helps a lot of students here is the schedule. A lot of people have jobs that go here and being able to get another days work in can always help. The school day doesn’t start too early either which I also think helps people in be on time. To some extents the policy is good but the only other problem is the fact that we only get four absences. It is hard thing to follow even if you only miss school when you are sick.
People who go to traditional schools seem to have lower self esteem I think. When you go to a “regular” school people are constantly picking at you no matter who you hang out with. When people constantly nag and pick on you it can ruin your life. That is the first thing I noticed about classic city, I came here and first thing I saw were people of all different shape, size, and color. It was a good feeling to know that I could be who I was. I feel safe here. I know that nothing will happen between me and another student due to the fact that I don’t want to be kicked out and neither does anyone else. Everyone in this school is form the same boat and there is nothing that can be done about it.
I would have to say that the main difference that this school has done for me is just making me want to go to school. I actually enjoy going to school and so does everyone else. This school is the true definition of a school. The way I see it is that a school is somewhere where a student can come to learn and not have to worry about being picked on and have fun while being here. There are not many kids who are at a traditional school that actually enjoy being there.
Overall I would like to thank the people who agree with me in this subject. I love it here and am so thankful that people have considered doing something like this for me and my peers. This school has been an opportunity for me and so many others who were here and who will hopefully be here in the future.
