<p>Added by me:</p>
<p>When your avg SAT score is 1704 and 2 neighboring towns still beat you.
When 5 seniors drive a brand new Mercedes, and are made fun of by the land rover drivers.</p>
<p>-Your French teacher makes joke whenever people are absent that they're smoking in the woods. And even though you're a freshman, half the time it's true. And if it's not, just wait till senior year....</p>
<p>-The gangsters walk past your English class singing some rap song their buddy made up and half the class starts singing with them. And your teacher praises your originality.</p>
<p>-Your teachers keep going, "For those of you that plan to go to college.... Oh **** you're my IB kidsnevermind."</p>
<p>-You get visits from the Coast Guard, Navy, Marines, etc. And the only college rep that ever comes is the community college one.</p>
<p>-Your school newspapers posts the most popular colleges for grads. #5 is Chapel Hill. And #1? The local community college.</p>
<p>-The cosmotology department has more funding than the science.</p>
<p>-The top grads go to Harvard and Williams. The lowest drop out before the legal age. And it really messes with your mind when you're asked to describe your school.</p>
<p>-The principal yells at a girl because her shirt shows her midriff and she yells back, "I'm pregnant, you shmuck." </p>
<p>-Not my school but a nearby one: The principal has to announce on the first day of school, "Have a great year! And please, don't bring your kids to school."</p>
<p>None of these are true for me. For starters, I go to a public school that is considered the best school (out of both public and private) in the entire state. My school only has 500 people in it, and I know every single person in my grade. The faculty parking lot is also 4 lots bigger than the visitors parking. We only have 1 principal and no one gets in fights. Saying that those things the true across the entire board of public school is FALSE! I think they only apply to certain, bigger public schools.</p>
<p>This website is really elitist, just saying. </p>
<p>When you’re the only junior who takes the PSAT because everyone else who took it with you last year thinks it’s a sophomore-only test. </p>
<p>When you’re the only person in the county taking SAT Subject Tests and the proctor falls asleep while he’s administering them to you.</p>
<p>When everyone in your AP English class is going to a public in-state college. </p>
<p>This is off-topic, but I went to a private Baptist school for a couple years when I was little. I transferred to the local public elementary school in 2002, and I remember being sincerely surprised that they let girls wear pants. Thankfully my worldview is quite a lot different now.</p>
<p>^^ my school has about 500 also. We have 1 prinicipal. Student parking is bigger than faculty. Fights and drug searches occur. Sometimes there is 1 cop there with his dog in the afternoons. They lock the bathrooms and locker rooms.</p>
<p>I also don’t know half of my grade although is was new from private school last year</p>
<p>That was for 2 above not you. Sorry for the triple post guys.</p>
<p>When people smoke pot in plain view on school grounds and teachers and other facility members walk by them not caring </p>
<p>When teacher’s talk about how much they wish they where teaching in a different school </p>
<p>When you school parking lot can only accommodate about 25 cars best </p>
<p>When you school still has graffiti on it from last years grad prank</p>
<p>When you can go to the bathroom for half an hour and the teacher doesn’t notice or just doesn’t care </p>
<p>When your school only has 3 clubs in total </p>
<p>These are all facts about my old school though and im starting at a new much better school for Junior year and I got my fingers crossed it’ll be a 100x’s better XD</p>
