    The majority of teachers know what they are talking about. They are very interested in our success.

    Pros - The teachers care about you individually. Not only are they just teaching you, but they also try to make sure that everyone understands the material.

    As long as you go to class, it is not a complicated process to getting a great grade.

    Cons - Some teachers tend to move a little fast. For subjects that are simple for me, it was amazing and I loved it; however, with classes that I did not completely understand, it was a little tough. In these situations (that can happen at any school), you just have to speak out and tell the teacher.
