• Describe an average day at your school (give us a feel of a walk through the halls).

Average day, is head to classes, chill with friends during breaks in the library, lockers, cafeteria, or outside in the court yard. At lunch usually we head down to downtown San Rafael to eat at the various deli's and cafes. Popular places where people hang out is in the library, cafeteria, or court yard.

• How much of a resource is your school in your life’s development? Do you think it actively contributes to your greater learning in life? Do you feel that your classes cater to your immediate and future needs?

In terms of my immediate future, which is college, school does cater to my preparation. Other than that, classes don't really help me out in other ways. Although, the school does offer resources like music studios which cater to my passion for making music.

• How do you think your curriculum could be better formatted to teach you life skills?

The main way the curriculum could be improved more is by offering more hands on experiences. More real world experience, not just class lectures.

• Is there respect at your school between students? Students and teachers? Teachers and parents? Parents and students? How does this affect your learning environment?

MA prides itself in being a safe environment for the learning of kids, so there is never any tension between students, teachers, or parents. It's alright with me cause that just means less drama.

• If you could change one thing about you school, what would it be?

Diversity, I guess. Haha.
