Power Corruption

Gives student's no sense of freedom, calling pupils parents for power trips due teachers no supporting the student choice of the subject they wanted to do.

Teachers harassing students for trying to make friends in class, teachers having a military style of teaching.

Overlooking racism and pretending not to hear racial slurs, that are said out loud in a screaming manner in class.

Teachers have a bad habit of humiliating students in classrooms, due to wrong answers being said in class if they get forced to answer a question out loud.

Teachers abusing punishment power to the point where they actually harm the students mental health, also deeming student as threats if they don't comply.

Teachers bullying student due to fact they blame students for the fact they don't get paid enough and even openly admitting it.

PE teachers being physically aggressive due to they're massive ego.

Teachers will allow students to assault students in a private area as long as no one seen what happened, to protect school reputation.

Teachers will not kick out few students due to harassment towards a student in a classroom but will send someone out for defending themselves, but in the end will be more than happy to kick out 5 more more students out of class for talking.

Any sense of difference of opinion turns into, a attack into a teacher, then they will pretend the teacher needs defending.

Some of these students need to learn what HR is, and need to report these teachers.

Any Student reading this, please take a recording device into Firhill, then report these teachers to HR, your guidance teachers will not protect you, they will simply guide you to be more submissive to these teachers.

Please Run

Please don't send your children here, although there are some kind and wonderful teachers here, a lot of them teachers have seemingly just got the job for the sole purpose of making kids cry, the head teacher is worse, he gathers all the children into the assembly hall so he can insult and degrade them until they are weak and fragile enough to eat. The school claims to care about their children's mental health but in reality, they could care less about any of them.

Don't get me started on the mayonnaise, if you want your kid to eat here, be prepared to get a sandwich with 5% actual food and 55% mayonnaise [Don't ask what the other 40% is].

If you do send your child here, expect them to get bullied until they eventually get stabbed. A lot of the kids here bark and bite others, nobody is safe.

Set me free

An absolute hellspawn of a school. Occasional good teachers, but a majority are evil people who feed on the tears of children. The school overworks pupils and couldn't care less about their mental health. Do not send your children here for their own good. The school is awful at handling bullying and discrimination, I quite literally cannot walk through the hallways even once without getting harassed and the staff do nothing to stop it. The headteacher is a dictator who uses his free time to steal the souls of small children and when he goes to bed at night he plays audio of a baby crying to help him sleep. Words cannot express how awful this place is.

Mediocre

Many of the teachers are really caring and compassionate and they teach well. However, we don’t have access to the water fountains anymore and when the issue was brought to the headteacher he simply said the jug of water at lunch should be enough and we shouldn’t need to fill water bottles during class time. There is also a big issue of homophobia and transphobia which the teachers do very little about
