unfortunately , i have had many unfair and unsatisfactory teachers at skyblue ,they take the creativity and fun out of learning. i would neverrrrr send my child to a place like that. i believe that this school has made me hate writing. that is unforgivable! i used to have a special love for writing. some might have called it a gift . they took my creativity and ripped it to shreds !
