<p>my school is ghetto because it stopped paying for heating this past school year, so it was freezing during the winter.
FURTHERMORE, the second the last bell of the day rings, most of the lights in the building are switched off. so when kids are walking by the lockers & stuff it is actually semi-dark.
f**king ridiculous considering we actually live in a pretty rich town.</p>
<p>-the vending machines say ‘‘use at your own risk’’.
-fights happen like crazy
-the average SAT score is in the 1300s
-sagging is omnipresent
-pregnancy is not that big a deal</p>
<p>lol mngirl, how do budget cuts prevent girls from getting pregnant?</p>
<p>because soda and or any food that has sugar/high fructose cornsyrup as the first/second/third ingredient cannot be sold during school hours.</p>
<p>My school almost seems tolerable compared to aforementioned school.
-I’m pretty sure my school just calls the courses “honors”
-It’s literally in the ghetto.
-there are no APs
-there are two non-black students in the entire high school
-My Spanish class consists of a work sheet and my teacher complaining about having to work two hours a day.
There’s a lot more, I’m just too embarrassed to say.</p>
<p>We have a lot of married couples with children as well.</p>
<p>We also have a $6 million football field, but no auditorium.</p>
<p>And our gym has no AC. It’s always really freaking hot in there. Ughh.</p>
<p>People smoke cigarettes AND pot in the shopping center parking lot beside the school (it sorta counts).</p>
<p>FFA is one of the biggest organizations at my school.</p>
<p>Not so much “ghetto” as “redneck habitat”…</p>
<p>I’m kind of in awe that the OP thinks his/her school is ghetto. My school had almost 2000 students and only six AP courses. I don’t know what the problem with paper towels vs. napkins is, and our high school lunches cost over a dollar more than elementary lunches. And my school actually isn’t a ghetto school at all.</p>
<p>@mngirl- Haha no, I’m just saying we are cool cause of Leddy. I am fully aware that we are just about the whitest school in the world (Edina is up there too).</p>
<p>my school has a drug bust twice a year, each semester</p>
<p>Minnesota ftw.
Woodbury (the city) wins btw.</p>
<p>
I’m not saying it’s actually ghetto, this is just a thread to list things you don’t like about your school. Also, my first post was just to get this thread started. Once I go back to school (tomorrow) I’ll get some fresh material and post it.</p>
<p>I don’t really know…</p>
<p>It might be the textbooks from 1984, the half-eaten curtains, or maybe it’s the stone chairs we sit in all day.</p>
<p>Do any of your schools sell drinks at the price of $1.25?
That’s so random.</p>
<p>More like 3 dollars lol
^^Haha, some of our textbooks are old too. The covers fall off when you hold them and I just got a book that I can’t even open because all of the pages are stuck together lol</p>
<p>Lol, no, I was kidding. Actually for advanced functions we’re getting BRAND NEW textbooks! And they changed it so the textbook is helpful for once. I’m pretty excited :]
Oh, god. I can’t believe I’m excited over a textbook. I don’t have a life anymore.</p>
<p>Water is like 1.75
Juice is a dollar, and coke is 2.25</p>
<p>^ they don’t sell coke at school anymore =o</p>
<p>The only normal priced thing at my school now is water, which is $1.00</p>
<p>A bag of chips rose from $.50 to $.65. …</p>
<p>wow at least your prices seem reasonable…they raised a chocolate chip muffin from .75 to 1.50…like ***? and yeah for us water is nearly 2.00</p>
<p>1.25, drinks
1.75, fruit juice</p>
<p>private school = we buy our own textbooks (save for a small amount of courses)</p>
<p>people are toking and smoking 50 feet away from cops.</p>
<p>Cops hang out in around the campus
Last year, there were two stabbings
When I searched for my school in the local newspaper website, the only articles there were were about those stabbings
Two years before (or maybe more) a guy I knew threw another guy through the glass doors of our cafeteria (the blood was still there weeks after it)
One time in my English class, the roof fell and hit someone
Sometime during the my hs life, someone lit a couple trash bins on fire during class time
Drive a little south from our school, and you’re on a street known for getting hookers
According to rumors, our school was supposed to be a prison, but it never panned out (might explain why we don’t have windows)
The school tries really hard to promote academics, even though the only competitions we win are in the arts
I remember one time, I saw some used condom wrappers in the girls locker room.
The photography teacher does the yearbook, senior pictures, prom pictures, and anything else that needs pictures
When new teachers come to my hs, the students laugh at them
Every day, the janitor is painting over some new grafiti
At one point, the gangsters from the other side of town pretended to be students of my hs to beat up this one kid
During graduation, more than half of the chairs set up for the graduates were empty
Freshman class: around 600, Graduating senior class: less than 300
As far as I know, only 1 person of my graduating senior class was a National Merit finalist
Our valedictorian is gay (hahaha, I know it’s not ghetto, just a fun fact I wanna throw out there. He’s a really cool dude.)
There are two girls bathrooms. One is always closed because people smoke pot in there.
In the girls bathroom, out of 5 stalls, only 1 or 2 work. Out of 3 sinks, at least 1 is broken.
There are no sanitary sheets in the bathroom.
In the boys bathroom, instead of urinals, there’s a tub (no kidding!)</p>
<p>We don’t really have pregnant girls here… But one of my friends went to a hs where there was a nursery.</p>
