The school director has poor communication skills! He's mean and very very rude. His name is Troy and he wears sunglasses and a scarf like he has billions of dollar BUT NEVER WANTS TO PAY HIS EMPLOYEES! The teachers are great! No problem at all but like I said, it's that school director who is very disturbing!
