If HSL was an actual High School...

<p>Our HSL diplomas are a step higher than associate degrees, but not bachelor’s degrees.</p>

<p>Could I teach IR?</p>

<p>I want to teach Mathematics with MIT. I’ll teach all of the lower classes (AP Calculus, Calc II, Calc III, and Linear Algebra) and MIT can teach Diff. Equations and everything above it.</p>

<p>I wonder if we’d have the whole high school cliques things. The jocks sitting in one table (including those who will be recruted athletes to Ivies), the musos in the next one (including those who will one day perform in Carnegie Hall) and the likes.</p>

<p>speaking of recruited athletes, I know someone who if they get their SATs up… they’ll end up playing B-ball at MIT. They’re scary smart though.</p>

<p>^ Is their scores that bad? I thought if you were an athlete, it didn’t really matter.</p>

<p>Their SATS were about in the 1900s, but MIT still has standards.</p>

<p>^Don’t generalize. Monstor344 has a 2400, and a golf guy, who’s currently a Harvard freshman, had a 2270.</p>

<p>I think I’d probably be the foreign language teacher at this high school. I’d teach Chinese, French, Spanish, and German. Oh, and an English class would be nice too. I could probably also teach some of the lower division math courses, maybe through Calc AB/BC (although I have a hunch I’d be teaching mostly freshmen at this high school :p)</p>

<p>The partying scene might be a little subpar at HSL High…</p>

<p>I could co-teach French with you fledgling! I think that everybody would be trying to let of steam from the craziness of middle school applications, so the party scene would be majorly intense.</p>

<p>^ Cool! :smiley: And if possible, there’d also be language courses beyond the AP… I’d like to teach a class in classical Chinese poetry including the 300 Tang poems and all of Li Bai’s works, a class in French literature where we’d read Victor Hugo and the works of Voltaire/Rousseau/other French philosophers… the list could go on :stuck_out_tongue: Plus we’d sponsor annual trips to France/China/Spain/Germany. That would be cool.</p>

<p>That would be amazing! HSL alumni would have so many connections that the trips would be free! We should also have a French philosophy class, and language classes should only be taught in those languages. I’d also love to teach Arabic, and obscure African languages.</p>

<p>Could we have a culinary class too? Students could take field trips to food centers of the world, and we would educate them on health, and fighting obesity.</p>

<p>^Why just one French philosophy class? Let’s split it into different schools of thought. I’ll teach existentialism, Russian, French, and European History.</p>

<p>Also, fledgling, Hoping411, and I would pair up for German philosophy seminars/debates between the language classes. :)</p>

<p>If I was a teacher, I’d be the yearbook/newspaper/creative writing teacher.</p>

<p>If I was a student, I’d be the yearbook/newspaper/creative writing editor-in-chief.</p>

<p>(I can dream, can’t I :c?)</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Oh for sure! I’d make sure I made my German classes read at least some Nietzsche or Kant… :D</p>

<p>Updated faculty list (lol)…</p>

<p>HSL High School</p>

<p>Principal: Chedva
Math Dept: TYiL, TCBH, MIThopeful16, puggly123, fledgling (only for certain classes)
English Dept: CPA, Millancad, fledgling
Science Dept: Aero, Anonymous1993 (Chemistry)
History Dept: smorgasbord
Foreign Language Dept: fledgling (Chinese, French, Spanish, German), Hoping411 (Arabic, French, African languages), smorgasbord (Russian, French)
Computer Science Dept: MIThopeful16
SAT Prep: Silverturtle</p>

<p>Wow, we have a pretty strong language department. That’s over 6 languages right there :O</p>

<p>lmao Milanclad would be in the English department</p>

<p>also, I could crappily teach Italian</p>

<p>EDIT: omg, I would totally kill to be able to read Tu Fu and the Book of Odes in Chinese. Too bad there is hardly any possibility that I will ever learn it :confused:
Also, I would have to make sure our French Lit classes do a decent job with Proust</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>That’s what the Classical Chinese Poetry course is for. :D</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Point taken. Proust is definitely worth studying. :slight_smile: And you could definitely teach Italian… we just probably wouldn’t have a complete language sequence up to the “beyond AP” level. We could just have Italian 1 and 2. :p</p>

<p>I just realized how amazing it would be if high schools actually offered languages like Arabic or Russian…</p>
