yeh, the academics were wicked easy, but some teachers did try to challenge you... and would challenge you if you asked. Tony was badass... as well as Andy, Jenn and maybe a few others. Sam Tanner, on the other hand was madd nice and fun... but i learned NOTHING in there... it was all about the actual teacher, and the student who they were working with. As far as PT goes,not all teachers gave it.. and what other form of punishment, other than restrictions, were they going to enforce? they can't sent you to the principle, call your parents ir suspend you. c'mon now, it's better than the old days, eh?
