High School High
I attened Vallejo Senior High School in Vallejo, Ca. It was the standard everyday school, Athletes pretty much ran the school, Cheerleaders included. The main focus was sports, not too many of the individuals that attended applied themselves enough for our school to have high academic scores. Now don't get me wrong, the kids weren't dumb but the environment we were in barely motivated kids to push harder. From what I recall most only did enough to pass, myself included. Not because good grades weren't something to strive for but becauae alot of us were just tired and that's when personal battles kick in as well. But let's talk about the structure of the school. Their were many teachers who genuinely cared about the success of their students but just as many who didn't really care at all. So when you have that type of mixed crowd the foundation isn't stable so respect goes out the door and rules are obsolete. The bathrooms made you vomet because teenagers don't care enough to clean up after themselves and the cafeteria was known for food fights. Now my school was nowhere near the worst school in my city we we're pretty much the "it" school but like I said before sports ran our school so you figure it out. From what i've heard my alma mater has only gotten worse, sports included. I wouldn't want my kids to go there, even if i did once upon a time.

From what it sounds like to me when I read this, it seems that your school was like something in a movie like "Bring It On" because it was all about the jocks being the popular people and the teachers didn't really care where the students were going in life. It was just all about getting paid and wanting to do what they wanted. My school was very similar so i completely understand. The only difference is that the want to be and actual thuggish and gangster students ran the school.
