Bo'ness Academy

i hate school. i hate it. i hate having to get woken up with my mum shouting at me to get up, then having to go to school to see all the teachers that don’t do anything, teachers make you sit and do lots of work for 50 minutes and expect you to be finished it all in one period. most of my teachers are rude and don’t care about you or what you do, they only care about you doing your work. i hate the way they treat you when you don’t understand the work and just ignore it and not help, i hate the uniform, it looks horrible and it’s so uncomfortable , having 15 minutes for break and 30 minutes for lunch stresses me out, i cant even sit down for longer than 10 minutes to eat and have a break because the line for food is so long and it’s so busy. my mum not believing me when i feel sick or unwell, and her not having a clue on why i never want to go, on top of that we aren’t even allowed out of class to go use the toilets!! it’s not fair schools not fair. i hate it so much

This school is bad. Most of the staff members in that building are bullies. They say we should have respect but you should hear the way they speak and act. Instead of trying to help people understand they would rather call you stupid. No support what so ever. Avoid big time.

A teacher who shall remain unknown (flanny G) accused me of exposing my private’s in class. I was arrested and spent 51 hours in jail before she admitted it was a lie. And what do they do, nothing!!

i am not complaining just because i go here, no one wants to go to school, but believe me when i say this is one of the worst schools ever, i mean it. I feel completely isolated in the building recently after finding out that multiple teachers have spoken about me in a nasty and utterly unprofessional way because i’m not good at “anything”, honestly my heart goes out to these totally crazy teachers who thinks it’s okay to treat students a certain way all because they may not understand something the same way as the “smart” children. i am constantly treated in such a painful way by most teachers and it makes me feel so isolated and stupid. school is supposed to be where you learn to develop skills and make friends, but all i’m getting out of it is being ridiculed by teachers for things that aren’t even at my fault, i supposedly have a rather “bad” reputation for lack of a better word, and i mean it when i say i have absolutely no idea why, all i’ve ever done is try to be respectful and nice and atleast have a laugh with some of the teachers, but all i get in return is ridiculed and spoken about in a disgusting unprofessional manner, it is absolutely heartbreaking that these humans that call themselves teachers, go through years of higher education just to make fun of the kids who aren’t as fortunate and smart as others so with all due respect, these 5 years have been absolute hell on earth and i can’t wait to leave this pathetic excuse they call Bo’ness Academy. (sending love to the teachers who are patient and do treat their students with respect ).

Comforting to know that our money is spent on redecorating the head teachers office rather than paying for new jotters or chair or literally anything more important that different coloured walls in a miniscule fraction of the school 👍
