Friend- age 15

-What do you think about school in general?

it's interesting. it's a pain to drag myself there, and some classes i dread, but it's good

-how does your neighborhood affect how u learn?

my neighborhood has no connection to how i learn. i don't talk nor do i ever see my neighbors (i leave the house before they do apparently), therefore, i have no interaction with anyone

-how does extracurricular activities affect how u learn?

a few of my extracurricular activities are educational in a sense (bio olympiad, science bio olympiad), so i learn during the meetings, and they help me review the bio i forgot from freshman year. in other clubs, i have a lot of friends who have high grades, so after having conversations with them during meetings, i get a small feeling of inferiority sometimes, which then causes me to want to study more

-if you could change one thing about your school what would you change?

the broken escalators. they always break down and it's a pain to get from the first floor to the tenth.

-would you like all your teachers to but energetic and fun or would you like to keep them the way they are now?

it'd be fine to keep them the way that they are currently because they all have their own perks and class is usually interesting for the most part

-if you had a choice would you still go to college after high school?

of course. you can't get a good job nowadays if you don't have a college diploma.

-would you like to have the same teacher from kindergarten to 12th grade?

it would depend. if i liked the teacher, then it would be interesting and i would be used to the teacher then. if i didn't, then no thanks
