The worst.nnEdit: wow, I sure was eloquent 6 years ago! Here’s the reality: I was a queer kid in Wallaceburg. At this school, I was verbally harassed daily, multiple times a day. My things were stolen and hidden. I was too afraid to use the washroom and missed at least 1/4 of my days out of sheer exhaustion and fear. However, there were some amazing arts teachers that made a real effort to help me feel like I belonged and they left a lasting impression on me. To say this school is the worst is to misplace the blame: the people that made it miserable were my peers, not the staff. I hope it’s better for queer kids now.
WDSS is terrible for losing kids credits. Not just the optional credits, but also required credits such as Math, English etc. Teachers here rarely work with the kids and instead force things on them even if say they don't attend a certain day due to medical reasons, teachers
Not that bad if school. I did two years at the Pines then came here. Honestly it's not that bad but others have their own opinion and different experience. I was honestly there just to get my graduate so... focus on you and do your thing and it's not that bad.
Teachers are great but administration threatens suspension and legal action if you speak out about another student
Actually not that bad of a school, great class selections, the teachers are pretty amazing, the only downside is the other students, but that's every school.
