<p>I go to an enormously large and diverse public school.</p>
<p>And I absolutely <em>hate</em> it. The best teacher to have ever walked the earth (he went to Cambridge U. in England for a while) was FIRED because we're losing about 1,000 kids to the new school...</p>
<p>Okay, lemme explain as simply as I can.</p>
<p>My school: Over 4,000 people. Ninth graders have their own campus.
So, This New High School is being built.</p>
<p>We're losing 1,000, since school is about 1,000 over capacity.</p>
<p>HOWEVER, the principal is cutting 30 teachers, which makes the too-many-students/too-few-teachers ratio COME INTO EXISTENCE once more and more insane than Dolly Parton's body proportions.</p>
<p>And, all the ninth graders are losing their campus and coming the upperclassmen campus. That equals even MORE overpopulation on the main campus, considering we'll have 200 more kids. The principal's motto seems to be: "let's see how many students it takes to bust this school apart."</p>
<p>One of my teachers got cut, and he teaches AP <em>and</em> is possibly the most qualified teacher we have.</p>
<p>My school is retarded. Seriously, in the strictest sense of the word, my school is <em>retarded</em>.</p>
<p>Murphy's Law: "We are making progress. Things are getting worse at a slower rate."</p>
<p>Here, at my dear school, it's Orange (my county) Law: "We are making progress. Things are getting worse at an exponentially faster rate."</p>
<p>The meaning to life at my school is passing the FCAT, the Florida standardized test. My entire school is built around that stupid test.</p>
<p>My school sucks.</p>
