given up (hope) on

It was a school for students for whom teachers had given up hope.


maybe. I just said that sentence so many times it doesn't make sense to me anymore!

"Had no hope for" or "Had given up hope for" or "had given up hope".

I think it should be: It was a school whose teachers had given up hope for their students. (Is this sentence correct?)

Yoong--

Point of style here.

Which is more important for your thought, the school or the teachers?

"It was a school" wastes words--and "it" has no referent.

"In that school teachers had abandoned hope for their students."

Thanks, Noddy.
