Galesburg High School

There is no college planning provided. Our son graduated 2010, he is attending a DiV 1 university. He was home a few weeks ago, siad after being at college for 4 weeks he was not prepared for college as he thought he was due to lack of understanding from the advisors.( advisors lack of knowledge) There is and was a complete lack of counseling and advisors who had know what they were doing. Preparing young people for higher education needs to be priority, There is also lack of Trade courses offered for those who are not planning on attending a college. We just heard from a Sr. which said they still need permission to go to the bathroom with a admin escort.

I am currently a senior at GHS who has tried to make the best of a bad situation. The three years of education behind me seem to have barely increased my knowledge. There are a few teachers who are worthwhile, but most of those are retiring. When I think about how low our standards are (though they have been increased) compared to those of other schools, I actually feel sick. I have tried to take a rigorous curriculum, though even the more advanced classes fail to truly challenge me. Our few AP courses are well taught, but the teachers who teach them well are, as I said, soon to retire. GHS is a terrible school, and I am glad this is my final year. I can only hope I am as prepared for college as I think I am.

A previous poster's comments perhaps indicate the quality of education offered here. 1) Capitalize the first word in each sentence, especially if that word is 'I'. 2) There are three different spellings of the word pronounced 'there'. a) there: as in 'there are' or 'look over there'; b) their: possessive form, as in 'their spelling is atrocious'; and c) they're: they are, as in 'they are horribly unprepared for college. 3) Conjugate your verbs properly. 'There is so many activities' is incorrect. 4) What is a 'clun'? I assume you mean 'club'. Learn to double check anything you write; any halfway decent college professor won't assume anything about what you've written. Secondly, these website offers a spell check option. Use it.
