There are a wide variety of people in Michaelchurch. Every person is unique. It's acceptable to be unique. It's acceptable to be unique here. Since my pals range in age, I am content in school. "These are interesting folks. No two persons here are alike. Each of them has a unique personality. Thus, nobody is left out. "Everyone would know if someone was being bullied here, and they wouldn't have any friends or playmates." In a small school, bullying is not acceptable. "Everyone contributes to making our school a kind school," says the student. No one needs to be a bully here; this is not the kind of place for that. "There is no bullying because there are no bullies at my school," a student said. "Everyone likes one other since no one is harsh or scary." "I enjoy going to school because the teachers are laid-back, respectful, and they believe in you." It differs from my previous school. Here, I feel trustworthy. The ideal of childhood! You do an amazing job, these children will be learning so much through their play and without doubt will heighten their love of learning being in such a happy environment. One day, they will be grateful for the excellent school they attended and the engaging learning experience you provided for them.
