"Some Mixed Feelings"

I have mixed feelings about Woolwich Polytechnic School for Boys. The facilities are nice, but I feel like my son's needs aren't always met. The teachers are trying their best, but sometimes I feel like they're not very engaged. I do like the focus on community and charity work, though.
