Although I have enjoyed my personal high school experience so far, I do feel like if you aren't part of the IB program then school pretty much sucks for you. I have been in IB since I entered high school, but along the way I made a few friends who were in regulars and their experience seems to suck. They do not get field trips or many fun days at all. At times it makes sense because the people in these classes tend to smoke or cut class, but it makes me wonder if they would be different if they had a little more fun and love from their teachers.

My overall experience with John F Kennedy High School was really good when I was attending. The teachers that I had were very caring for our future goals and the school itself had many teachers who were helpful.
10/14/2023
My experience while at, John F Kennedy High School had honestly been a mix of feelings and emotions. One of the causes there is that there are good days and bad days. For example, my friend came in late to class, and so it became boring. And another negative is the fights that go on here. We are trying to control it and I believe that me and my classmates' will see it. Even though those days are bad there are good days like, this day where they reward you of just being a good Kennedy student. Somethings I would Like to see change in is just the punishments for the students. I don't think anything to much just something different, and that will actually work.
