Ferber Elementary School
Molly: I think overall it's a fine school but problems I have include: lunch, TAG, air conditioning, and student appreciation. Lunch looks, smells, and tastes bad. Not only is it unhealthy but also not tasty. I was in TAG and I loved it. I heard they were doing this new thing where you do 5 problems and if you get them all right you don't have to do the assignment or something like that. I wouldn't know, however, because we only got one opportunity and then our math teacher decided not to use the method with us. Air conditioning, big problem, I didn't like sweating in class it made it harder to pay attention and no one wanted to move around in gym because they were already too hot. Student appreciation, pep rallies, something to boost morale and make kids proud of Ferber. Little incentives like pep rallies in a gym makes kids happy.
