Benjamin Franklin Senior High School

I worked harder here than I ever have in college. And that includes my current studies in nursing school, though they’re very nearly tied in beating me senseless with paperwork. The kids were fantastic. Anyone with the brains to get in can and will fit in here. The faculty is great.
The administration was such a problem that I can’t give more than three stars. In fact, the administration is what I attribute my pure hatred for high school. Unfortunately there’s a school board that oversees the principal. So even though there are huge problems with the current (not personal experience with this one, just from having spoken to several members of the faculty) and previous (good riddance!) principal, it’s next to impossible to convince the board that there needs to be a change. If the principal is allowed to pick on teachers he or she doesn’t like, it affects how the teachers treat each other and thus how the teachers treat the students.
This is a very liberal school. I wish the dress code were less strict. The point of going to Franklin was supposed to be having the ability to be yourself, and to learn who you are. Why can’t kids in high school shave a mo-​hawk or dye their hair blue if they want to?
