Good But Not Good [Posted on 2005-08-24]
I bought this game at Target for $9.99 and I was excited about running my own school. But when I booted it up for the First time I realized that this was not the game that the cover of the game advertised. in the first place, when litter gets out of control you can't get it back in control no matter how manny janitorial buildings you have or how many janitors you have. It is hard to find a teacher with fun rated 10, strictness rated 5, and skill rated 10 which is what you have to have in order to make students happy. It seems no matter how many bathrooms I have students are leaving the school because of no bathrooms. When you go bankrupt after 3 days you lose your school no matter what. They don't even let you keep the school just with no money. They make you lose all of your hard work and start over. Please do not buy this game if you are not ready to face a big challenge.

Still Good [Posted on 2005-09-05]
This game is fun! You get to run your own school, create your own kids, and get good teachers.
But this game has its difficulties. Like the review below, you can't get your litter in control with ease, but I found that you could if you kept moving your janitors. It's hard to find good teachers, and don't you think a video game arcade, roller coaster, etc is a little much for a school? It also says "If you want to build portable detention, build a port a potty". What does a port a potty got to do with a detention?
Yeah, it's fun for a while, but you get bored with it soon. But I'd still get this game if you really wanted it.

Fun even for a teacher [Posted on 2007-09-16]
I'm a teacher, and I had fun playing this game and being the one in charge for a change! Yes, this game had limited scenarios that could have been more expanded, but what it did have was fun. I enjoyed playing with the different teachers, modelling my school and the people in it after people I work with, and having classes and schedules that I would like to work with. All in all I thought it was worth the money. I think that teenagers would especially enjoy this game and enjoy being the one in charge for a while.
