I received my high school education here and while I always heard the staff talk about how Blacksburg high school would be our "home", I honestly can't say I felt that. To me, this was a place where SOME teachers would make fun of students already being made fun of and give certain students special privileges and punish others for the same things... some teachers didn't even exactly care what was being taught in my personal opinion (ex. crossword puzzles in place of quizzes, getting grades for taking notes?). There's a lot left to be desired. It's been a few years (some things may have changed), and while I do miss some experiences here, it wasn't because of the school.
This school in my honest opinion could use some work in vetting teachers more thoroughly and nourishing each individual child's special abilities and personality. Make EVERYBODY feel like a somebody.
Two teachers I had that were very kind and special to me were Mrs. Hughes and Mr. Davis. They both were so respectful to all students and actually TAUGHT! I was always eager to learn and participate in their classes. read more
