My school is ghetto because...

<p>My school is ghetto because a loaded a gun fell out of a kid’s locker last year. We have bomb threats at least 10 times every year. I’m a senior now; there are about 500 kids in my class. There were 800 when I was a freshman. My county has the highest teen pregnancy rate in New Jersey. Drugs are dealt on a daily basis.</p>

<p>//But one of my friends went to a hs where there was a nursery.//</p>

<p>Holy…</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>This “word” was originally meant to describe white people - Jews!</p>

<p>

Do you live in Camden?</p>

<p>I don’t even buy lunch anymore. Way too expensive. I’d rather just eat really light and then eat a huge meal at 5 anyway.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Not that ghetto hahaha. We’re not on that level of ghetto-ness.</p>

<p>Our gym has no air conditioning.</p>

<p>My school is ghetto because it is located in the ghetto. (Long Island City, Queens, NYC)</p>

<p>now that someone asks me, i realize my school isnt ghetto hahaah
well… there are a few things
-many people who have cars put hella bass in them and act border line gangster
-uhhh all the teachers that teach average level math only have 0-2 years of teaching experience, think theyre good at teaching already, and are lame…

  • haha my school isnt ghetto at all…
    -one in a while a girl gets pregnant
    -many people smoke weed?
    -they say theres a massive pill problem, but i dont see it, probably just a little thing blown out of proportion because its a relatively clean community…</p>

<p>gahh idk</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Our football team hasn’t won a homecoming game in 25 years.
Our soccer team has been state champions 5 out of the last 4 years.</p>

<p>We hate the rich school in our district (and get dominated by them).</p>

<p>my school is ghetto cause our history books end with Clinton as the last president. I don’t know if that’s actually “ghetto” though</p>

<p>My school is ghetto because we have to pay for the pages we print. You may think this is nothing, but I was used to printing whatever I needed for free at my old HS.</p>

<p>My school is ghetto because we have security cameras in the parking lot and in the building.</p>

<p>…because we have 3+ bomb threats a year, 5+ hispanic pregnant girls a year, and people that jerk off into the sink…thats disgusting</p>

<p>thelittlemermaid- that’s not exactly ghetto. That’s security, which every school needs lol.</p>

<p>y school really isn’ ghetto though… Except for the fact that this year, teachers only get 2 boxes of paper. That, and the fact that half of our AP classes got cut because of lack of interest…</p>

<p>^Ghetto for our school, anyway. We only got them last year and the school’s been open since the 1970’s. Before that, security at our school was, well, one dean of discipline.</p>

<p>" lol mngirl, how do budget cuts prevent girls from getting pregnant? "</p>

<p>Sofie, </p>

<p>The budget cuts don’t prevent girls from getting pregnant, but they cut the program specifically for those girls, which had kept them concentrated at our school. </p>

<p>And we did have a daycare, when we had that program. I’m not sure if it’s still there or not.</p>

<p>…because teachers have limits on the things they copy. </p>

<p>By the middle of the year teachers start to get imaginative and use small font on the papers they have to copy.</p>

<p>some of you have some non ghetto schools—like the no air conditioning in the gym isnt rare here.</p>

<ul>
<li>we have a daycare center for teen mothers</li>
<li>we have concrete as floors</li>
<li>some people just can’t hold it in before they get to the bathroom, so they **** on the stairs</li>
<li>it’s common for the hallways to smell like vomit</li>
<li>our security guards are having affairs with the students</li>
<li>some of our our security guards were in real gangs before they were hired</li>
<li>the security guards aren’t paid enough so they steal confiscated cell phones to sell</li>
<li>people have been busted having sex in the balcony section of our auditorium</li>
<li>in the bathrooms, too</li>
<li>during a renovation period, only 5 classrooms were actually renovated</li>
<li>the pipes over our indoor track leak onto the students during pe.</li>
<li>fights occur between security guards and students</li>
<li>TEACHERS HAVE CHUNKS OF THEIR CHEEK BITTEN OUT BY ANGRY GHETTO KIDS FOR BEING TOLD TO WALK FASTER</li>
<li>mass gang riots break out after walking home from school at least 1x per year</li>
</ul>

<p>aside from all that, my school is bat-***** crazy and fun as hell at times.</p>
