I hate Tomah so much. They have no respect for what you want, and a lot of people are bullied. no one cares, and I bet most teachers wish that you were not in there. I have an IEP, and they don't care, maybe one teacher cares, but most don't. I 100% hate all the teachers here, and I hate most of the students here. I wish I could move out of this town.
