<p>when there has been already four school emergencies in less than six months.</p>
<p>when school is open even though every school in the county is closed because of a blizzard storm...........what the heck........hate my school</p>
<p>MY schools implemented a new method of torture. Once or twice a month we have shortened classes and they add the time on the end of the day for a MANDATORY Community Service Group. Everyone hates it and tries to ask the teachers to stay and just do classwork. We have to go with a random teacher they assigned us to and do "community service" but it's pointless. We just make videos about conservation or quilts or some groups just sit there, nothing gets done. HERE'S THE KICKER: If you do not attend the MANDATORY Community Service Group you get put down for 4 cuts (1 for each of your blocks) and get the respective suspensions (4) even though you just cut one pointless "thing" Most teachers hate it too besides the ones who made it up.</p>
<p>-When your principal strongly urges against taking more than 2 APs at a time b/c it will be too challenging</p>
<p>-When after a pep talk, the principal asks our AP stats class whose going to get a 4 or 5 on the exam in May and absolutely no one raises their hand</p>
<p>-When the above students are not being doubtful/pessimistic but are actually being truthful</p>
<p>-When a boy is caught in the girls' bathroom having sexual relations with a girl from the special ed class (i.e. mentally challenged). And no, the boy was not slow either.</p>
<p>-When at last year's graduation the principal kept stopping the program b/c parents were being "ghetto" and cheering for their child. She sent security and teachers around to pull them out and asked parents to tell on each other if another one was making noise.</p>
<p>...When you look through a newspaper with your friend and see your History teacher posing naked for a gay men's add. "Call Mark for hot sex!" His name wasn't Mark.
...When the students don't bring their backpacks to class and spend the time playing with they rulers, breaking things, and super gluing pennies to the table.
...When only one student in the class takes notes (guess who) and everyone asks for them, circulated them through the class even after said person has said no, and then proceed to cheat with notes written in illegible handwriting.
...When everyone in the class who cheated gets a D or lower.
...When a moronic girl in your class continues to try to seduce our gay male teachers. No luck there, obviously.
...When we've been doing the wrong curriculum in History since the beginning of the year.
...When we've only done 2 out of several (maybe 20) chapter in Math class because no one in the class "understands" (more like listens).
...When the heater is on a randomizer (no air conditioning though) and always proceeds to go off when it is scortching hot and is never on when it's cold.</p>
<p>I'm amazed at what I've read here. My school is perfection compared to some of the stuff here.</p>

<p>...when your school pronounces FAFSA, EF-AY....-EF-ES-AY every morning.</p>
<p>...when your math teacher spends more times looking at personals online than teaching. </p>

<p>...when you can see the asbestos hanging out of the gymetorium ceiling(yes we don't even have a gym..it's a gym and an auditorium)</p>
<p>(this one applies to all NYC schools)...when we can get 2 feet of snow, have every other school in the state close, and it's still open for us.</p>
<p>...when you hear the principals footsteps you almost crap your pants from the fear.</p>
<p>Danny, a gym AND a cafeteria? That's wild!</p>
<p>My school has a gym, but no cafeteria. Where do we eat? IN THE HALLWAYS. I don't even find it strange anymore...</p>
<p>Where do they serve the food? In carts along the hallway?</p>
<p>pgedufailedme, yes, actually. We have one or two carts. Also, there are food windows with roll up metal screens. How classy.</p>

lol......... spirited away</p>
<p>My senior class is literally less than half of what it used to be in freshman year. 1297 down to 570-something.</p>
<p>Dude, that's over 700 kids.</p>
<p>Gah, i'd rather eat in the hallways! The lunchroom..I hate it! The walls..are yellow..as I said it gets oppresively hot and we actually have to get our food carted across the street from the GED school.</p>
<p>...When you have a "multipurpose room" the size of a closet in which we play a few select sports, eat lunch, have school meetings etc.
...When the principal spends more time punishing girl for the cloths they wear than trying to fix important problems concerning our education.
...When you spend half your day in classrooms which are underground--so no cell phone reception coupled with the feeling of being in some kind of enclosed cave of coffin.
...When the girls in your class ask to close the window when it's 75 degrees outside because "they're cold". Well, wearing cloths would be a good start at avoiding chills, I say.</p>
