Q. What is the part of your day you could do without?

A. I always pay attention in class and always try to answer questions when they are asked.
Q. School year: Too short, too long or just right? Why?
A.The school year is too long because we go for 10 months and get only two months to ourselves in the summer to have fun. But, in the end it is worth it.

Q. Fill in the blank. The best teacher I ever had was _______ because ________.
A. The best teacher I ever had was Mr. Lavey because he was kind-hearted and loved all his students and all he wants is for students to work their hardest and to get out of high school and be something in life.
