"Don’t go here"

Don’t go here the teachers don’t care about you they hound you with work and when lockdown hit the quality of teaching was rubbish they are bone idle and lazy they just sat on their arses for 6 months and did nothing. They talk about you to other teachers when you’re in the room and have no respect for you.
