Spring Break is Long Overdue

Spring break is only a few days away. It's Tuesday and we get out Friday for a week.
Only three days... I can do it. I swear that I can.... I hope that I can.

I'm just about sick of this school, but I'm trying to keep my temper in check.
I take a photography class that costs $30 a semester. The course description talks about us using the dark room and taking pictures, but all we've done all year is work on photoshop.
Now, I love computers as much as the next teenager, but there is a line that needs to be drawn. First, a crazy amount of work that the advanced students struggle with much less the beginner students?
Second, the teacher has no idea what she's talking about. I've had several occasions where I've shown her how to do things on photoshop.
Third, I can barely do my own work because almost everyone in the class is calling me to help them.

Don't get me wrong, by no means am I a photoshop genius. However, I learned the basics and they stuck with me.
Had I come into that class without the knowledge that I held beforehand, I, and several other students, would be failing terribly.
I'm not paying $60 for this. I can't even use the darkroom, the main reason that I took the class. She locked it and forbid us to use it.
Good photographers know how to develop their own film because it gives them more say over the film.
Why can't we use digital cameras and photoshop the pictures for all the say that we want?
Digital cameras don't have as much resolution as film cameras. Both are good and you need to know how to use both.
This class is putting me on edge because it has been a tooth and nail fight with the teacher every day.

Then my stalker issue that was mentioned before, that still doesn't help.

Plus the kids in this school. Today during lunch, I was sitting with my friends and suddenly kids began to stand up. They were facing the middle of the cafeteria where a fight was about to take place. Once security escorted the girls out, the students began to yell and slam the tables with their fists. This made an opening for the first student to throw their tray and soon a food fight began.
Sadly, this isn't as uncommon as I would like.
Not too long ago we were on the news. A fight was planned in the bathroom and a student recorded it. The student put it on Youtube where it quickly found the news.
One of the boys that was in the fight died shortly after.

This school isn't terrible. There is a lot that I love about it. The art program is magnificent and the theater program is uncompared to any in town. The students have a flavor to them that will never die out and the school rarely is boring, but it would be nice to have some better people here.
