Question
Shalom Rabbi,
About two years ago I studied for one year in a secular school and did not continue there because it was not suitable for me.
A few days ago I received an email from them in which they asked me to write how my learning experience there was, so that they can improve the school.
May I answer them honestly, especially since I did not enjoy my studies there and I have some complaints? Is there a concern of lashon hara (forbidden speech) here?
I emphasize that I do not intend to speak about any particular teacher, but only to describe the general frustration and the feeling of lack of attention that I had during that year.
Thank you very much in advance.

Answer
Shalom u’vracha.
It is permitted to give general feedback about your learning experience.
Feedback about a specific person is much more problematic.
