<p>I’m very active in the school. EIC on the school paper, Japanese club, Model UN, help in every open house, do every college class offered, go on international trips, lol.</p>
<p>we have a new principal, I miss our old one :’(
mostly i’m sad that we can’t finish our senior year out with him.</p>
<p>he was a great guy, knew everyone’s names, used to eat lunch with the LABBB (special ed.) kids.</p>
<p>@niquii; phew, good thing about the seatbelt. click it or ticket!</p>
<p>My principal is very inactive to say the least.</p>
<p>I feel like I only see him in the hallways and stuff a handful of times per year and he doesn’t seem like a guy who would know people by first name. My guidance counselor is the exact opposite. She magically knew everyone’s name the moment we walked in as freshman and is very personable.</p>
<p>To be honest, I was a little weirded out that my principal knew my name. I mean, it’s a small school, but i’m not a delinquent or anything like that. I can count on one hand how many times i’ve been inside the inner office (where the VP’s and the principal’s) offices are, and I can remember them all…</p>
<p>first - running errands with a teacher, dropping off the prom payment “hi, i’m with ms. K, these are the checks for the junior prom…oh, i’m just helping her out. I like doing things like that. have a nice day!” (this was a fun day for me)</p>
<p>second - “hi, can I speak to mr. VP…? hi, mr. VP, i’m elleya, i’m in JROTC and was wondering if I could move my locker up to that hallway…oh, I can? thank you very much, mr. VP!”</p>
<p>third - “hi, mr. VP, i’m just returning my lock because I changed lockers…thank you very much!”</p>
<p>yeeeah.</p>
<p>@Elleya: I seen P and VP have strong memories but they can forgot your name later on anyway. Also remember they have your photo and name on file. </p>
<p>Anyway my P and VPs pretty much all over the place. Some in lunch (there are 5 Principals in all), some is helping out with security and hallway monitoring. Oh most of us know the signature “YO!” omg everytime he say it loud and clear. “YO! Put your ID on!” “YO! pull up them pants.” lmao “Yo!.. how’s class?” He a pretty cool guy though lmao.</p>
<p>5 principals, dang that’s kinda overkill.
(I imagine your school’s a bit larger than mine)</p>
<p>on that note, lunchroom patrol is also overkill. I don’t even eat in there so i’ve been lucky to avoid it, but having open campus as a senior is a blessing because I can go places at my leisure without being harassed by whatever teacher has the misery of having lunch duty that day.</p>
<p>We just got a new principal. I don’t really like her. I liked the old one better, but whatever. </p>
<p>The only administrative type people I know are the ones in guidance</p>
<p>@Elleya: lol 1 Main Principal, and 4 “grade” principals for each grade. I’m not sure if 2500+ students is considered large (Well it not small but you can easily know most people). </p>
<p>Lunch patrol at my school is a must especially with 2 lunchroom (you are assigned to one by class location). Even with camera there’s still the odd that there may be a fight, students may be texting, Food throwing, Line cutting (tbh they ain’t doing that good on 3/4 of these).</p>
<p>Being a senior does have it privileges however at my school we won’t notice till like March >.<
I would kill to have open campus lunch, I don’t wanna sit in here eating the same meals for 4 years (considering some of these like mac n cheese and ravioli, I can eat at home. Also my school have this no food or drink out the cafeteria rule which is annoying. I’m paying around 2 dollars and I can’t take cookies out of the cafe? smh. Bottles drink are ok though. I really wish we could text during lunch and in during breaks, I mean there no fouls in doing that.</p>
<p>Line cutting during lunch is really bad here. You start 5th in line and 2 minutes later you’re magically 20th. </p>
<p>Which is why the second I get out of class I RUN - RUN - to the lunch room.</p>
<p>no food out of the cafeteria? i would die. I eat lunch during C and D blocks. and as of last year, we can use our phones between classes, during break, and during lunch, which is lovely.</p>
<p>lunch lines are awful, but usually when i’ve been in them, i’ve been behind a teacher, so we chat. lunch is going to be $3 this year, it’s highway robbery. portions are controlled, so you’re paying $3 for a little thing of milk and a tiny fruit cup with your meal. what if I want more fruit?! or a big water?! nope sorry you can’t have it because we have to comply with healthy eating</p>
<p>it’s dumb though, because there’s always like 1 or 2 food fights a year. always started by kids that are really, really bored. the teachers just stand outside the cafeteria area and make sure people aren’t…I don’t know, leaving the cafeteria before lunch ends? e_e. </p>
<p>(we have 2 cafeterias, the smaller one in the back is for upperclassmen, has a better view but there are no teachers in there at all like what)</p>
<p>though something I always thought was neat-o is that upperclassmen can also eat in the larger underclassmen cafeteria. when I ate in there for a few weeks at the start of my freshman year, some of the upperclassmen came and ate with my friends and I and helped us get places. t’was nice.</p>
<p>then again, last time I ate in there was nearly 3 years ago.</p>
<p>Omg @CSI Hot wings tomorrow, for sure like 100 people are going to cut.
They been “adjusting” the line to reduce cutting but the first real test come tomorrow.</p>
<p>lmao basically they have 2 of each line(same food- 2 line) at my school. I always go for the “other one” because everyone is going for the “line”. lmao we can’t run here but you can clearly see like everyone rushing into the cafe. lmao it crazy but easy to get use to.</p>
<p>I hardly know my principal but I know the dean very well and he likes me a lot (although he thinks I’m a little bit crazy… he had to sign off on my heavy schedule).</p>
<p>My school doesn’t have a cafeteria.</p>
<p>We share our lunch room with 2 other schools. The others used to only have a few grades when they were new and we had 2 different lunch periods, but now we only have one. So the second I finish lunch, which I do within 7 minutes of the period starting, I run upstairs to hangout in a quiet classroom. I usually go to my old Geometry teacher and help her with things like grading tests or sorting work with my friends.</p>
<p>Lunch room stories LOL…</p>
<p>At my “school”, it’s kinda cool… we are allowed to bring in outside food (home/restaurant) and upperclassmen are allowed to go (in groups, and cars!) to any store/restaurant within 10 minutes of the school… Sophomores can go with the upperclassmen if they have a certain GPA. The cafeteria food at our school quite bad, so I usually bring food from home or run across the street to the Publix or Chipotle/Willy’s (burrito joints) or similar place to get lunch. That’s 3 days a week.</p>
<p>The school gets food catered to us on Tuesday/Thursday, so that’s good. Except that those days our portions and options are limited, of course.</p>
<p>But that is a private “school”, not a public one, so…</p>
<p>At my school sophomores and up can go off campus during any frees, and juniors and up can drive. There is no limit on how far you can go, and some people who have a ton of frees in a row due to cancelled classes or not having PE because they’re in a sport even go see movies!</p>
<p>Mine’s private too.</p>
<p>swanky.</p>
<p>there isn’t really anywhere to go though, except the people who go to DD or mcd’s and think they’re cool because they can get their food, eat it, and come back in 20 minutes.</p>
<p>20 minute lunches, who would even come up with that…</p>
<p>Our school is in the perfect place to let students leave for lunch because the mall is across the street with a huge food court.</p>
<p>When I say acros the street I mean down the hill, across the street, and across the parking lot, lol. Like 7-8 minute walk.</p>
<p>We can’t go anywhere during the day at school. Plus, they got rid of the senior lounge years ago.</p>
<h1>myschoolsucks</h1>
<p>A friend in another school just said the MIT app is up. He is /so/ getting in. I think he has like a 2360 SAT, perfect scores on math 2 and physics subject tests, and more.</p>
<p>senior lounge? that sounds so fancy.</p>
<p>I bet there were a lot of cushy chairs in it.</p>
