<p>Why would you need more than one tv in a classroom?</p>
<p>my school used to do a tv signup before they got smart boards</p>
<p>My school has a TV in every room but we still have sign outs for the Destination and for bigger screen TVs if the teachers want them for DVDs since the standard TVs just have VHS.</p>
<p>And pgeudfailedme, I think lablondie was being sarcastic in that post about needing more TVs, right?</p>
<p>You know your school is bad when the current Vice Principal is an ex-PE teacher who was accused, on many accounts, of sexually harassing girls during class.</p>
<p>...when your history teacher falls on a coffee spill and has knee surgery becuase the custodians were too lazy to clean it up</p>
<p>...when its 75 degrees fahrenheit outside, making it extremely hot inside...and the school doesn't turn on the damn AC!</p>
<p>hey, if you lived over in puerto rico, 75 degrees wouldnt be that bad. It would be considered cool by some (not me, btw). A normal here is 90, plus humidity, which makes it seem even worse. So, if someone should be compaining about heat, it's me, not you. My school doesn't even have AC, we have to go with the old fashioned way: fans.</p>
<p>When in the past 3 years you have had:
- more than one expulsions
-a riot
-kids suspended for counterfeit money
-more kids smoke pot than don't
-9 bomb threats in a span of 2 months
& the school tries to cover up that it was a bomb threat by calling it a fire drill, so they don't get in trouble by state legislastion. Meanwhile, everyone knew the threat was coming and had their jackets with them because they heard about it 2nd period in bio.</p>
<p>Yea, so this doesn't happen at my school, but</p>
<p>For take your child to work day, the kids in your class take their children to school.</p>
<p>OMG--1 girl had a child in class...I think it may have been a little cousin or brother actually, but you never know.</p>
<p>That happens here all the time.
When the assistant principal has no idea how to handle a bomb threat and passes it off as fake</p>
<p>-When BOTH of the 2 teaching candidates that were offered jobs turn them down
-When 60% of the teachers at my school live at poverty level (in overpriced norcal)
-When we get wireless internet in every classroom on campus, but don't have phones in every room.
-When they waste $26MM on a student center and kick the students out whenever they feel like it
-When the toilets in the said $26MM student center don't work, EVER.
-When the school has enough money to fund a biochem class but doesn't have enough money to fund an AP gov't/AP psych class
-When the school purposefully deflates GPAs by giving .3 instead of 1 point for AP/honors
-When the laptops we buy from the school for $2k don't work properly after 4 months.
-When the student parking lot looks like a BMW/Mercedes dealership
-When the president of your school buys a Lexus every like 3 years on the school's tab
-When you're charged $25 to replace a lost ID card</p>
<ul>
<li>when you are dissecting a little baby pig and somebody walks by and asks you what it is. "Oh, this... its a PIG!" Then the guy that asked yells down the hall to his friend "Gross! They're dissecting CATS in there!"</li>
<li>when your school spends $2mil on a new lunch swipe card thing... but students have to pay really high fees to ride the bus, play sports, ect.</li>
<li>when you have to park out at the end of the parking lot b/c some people apparently cant see the white lines</li>
<li>when you realize that the computer labs are filled with the same computers you ahd in elementary school... ten years ago</li>
</ul>
<p>When Macs are preferred over Windows in the elementary system</p>

<p>How exactly is that bad? There's nothing an elementary student needs to due at school on Windows that can't be done on a Mac.</p>
<p>I forgot to add a few of mine:</p>
<p>*The average old SAT score is ~850
*The school claims a 1.5% dropout rate... when there are 2.5 times as *many freshman as seniors
*Only 23% of "gifted offerings taught by teachers with matching endorsement along with appropriate content endorsement"
*$5 to try out for the talent show; $2-3 for pep rallies
*You have to have a reason to go to the library during study hall, of which "wanting to read" isn't a valid one
*They buy new top-of-the-line computers for teachers whose most graphics-intense programs are Solitare and whatever they use for grading and attendance
*TV's so old they actually had turn dials and you had to bang them to get them to work (they were replaced last year though, thankfully)
*They expect us to be able to go from the 1st floor to the bathroom, our locker, and then to the 4th floor in the five minutes between classes
*Bathroom breaks during class are heavily discouraged by the principal</p>
<p>When there is a student in it who is fanatical when it comes to gyroids</p>
<p>I'm guessing when Mu Alpha Theta is disbanded.</p>
<p>funny, LL.</p>
