<p>I agree with the not being able to afford copies thing, so horrible.
Also, you know your school sucks when it has furlough days and wants to FIRE THE COUNSELORS. Thank goodness I graduated this year, but really, I feel sorry for the underclassmen.
Also, when the school refuses to give you paper towels in the bathroom. (yeah my school removed the paper towel dispensers due to “paper towel littering in the bathroom” but seriously, the trash can overflowing because the janitors won’t throw it out is not our fault…)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>oh the irony.</p>
<p>you go to a school in the BAY AREA/SILICON VALLEY that doesn’t offer a computer programming course.</p>
<p>I had to freggin get signatures, write letters, and force the student body to get this course approved this year…but its discontinuing next year because we lack intelligent teachers willing to provide viable instructions. How irritable!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Tru dat.</p>
<p>there are teachers make profit out of the students through a club and then the students steal the money.</p>
<p>when no one knows it’s even a school…'cept for the kids who go there, of course</p>
<p>oh, and when you know all the teachers hate you. thank god i’m graduating real soon</p>
<p>when students dump in the urinals, I mean honestly that’s just repulsive.</p>
<p>When you can’t go five seconds without hearing someone say “F my life” or “I’m gonna kill myself.”</p>
<p>When Calculus AB is a perquisite for BC.
When in order to get into an AP/H class, you need to have teacher recommendations and competitive placement tests.</p>
<p>When two pages of the yearbook are so ~controversial~ that they make the local news.</p>
<p>When even the kids in honors/AP courses talk over the teacher.</p>
<p>When your Algebra II teacher makes you complete a review packet for a final that you’re exempt from.</p>
<p>When your physics teacher doesn’t even have a degree in physics.</p>
<p>… they can somehow afford Apple Macbooks for all but can’t stop the ceilings from leaking and the auditorium seats from creaking.</p>
<p>they stop serving vegetarian friendly things (but protest got it back)</p>
<p>Seniors complain about having to past Alg 1 and Biology</p>
<p>when you compare your old high school (which has regularly ranked in the top 50 nationwide) to your new high school which has been steadily dropping in rank. It’s not even on the list anymore.</p>
<p>When you have seniors in Alg 1 Part 1.
And your school runs out of paper towels in 1 hour in all bathrooms.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I don’t know what Part 1 is, but I’m pretty sure it’s a graduation requirement and/or a prerequisite for college to take Algebra 1, Algebra 2, and Geometry. I knew a senior who got an F in Pre-Algebra all four years. He also failed all his other classes senior year. He then dropped out after “finishing” senior year and I don’t know what in the world he does now.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That is really awful.</p>
<p>It’s what our school does to split it up. IIRC, part 1 was all the simple equations and simple linear functions, part 2 dealt with quadratics. We count both as Math Credits, then they take senior geometry.</p>
<p>It doesn’t</p>
<p>We won state girls track
2nd in the nation mock trial
plus random other things that I don’t know about
And its public
Admissions rate at northwestern is 39% (according to naviance)</p>
<p>But there are criticisms
We really need to renovate the bathrooms.
And get rid of the clearly incapable teachers.
And give pay on merit, not tenure.
We have to buy all our textbooks
We have like 3.50 for pizza slice.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The students in my honors pre-calc class cannot shut up and it’s about to drive me insane. I’ve never really experienced a class similar to this (what they say makes them unique).</p>
<p>This thread is depressing. :(</p>
<ul>
<li>when you have a “gang” of skinny freshmen strutting around</li>
<li>when said “gang” attacks school principal with missiles of rubber bands and silly string</li>
