Yup, my old HS was like that. Too bad the article is basically a re-typing of the artcile published. Not a word about the plight of the TLA major, the Fall 2003 Lockdown, or anything else.

Btw, I had Friedman as a teacher and read "Continental Drift". Unlike what the article says, he is an asshole, but "Continetal Drift " is a good book, and Big Mac was clearly showing off his amazing case of head-up-the-ass sybdrome.

Have a very nice day.

Well then, it was a good thing to not pass that Specialized Science test after all.~Jason

Ugh, I've known how poor principals and deans can bring down a school.

I am the take it easy type of guy. If I was to go as far as Stuy, I would go nuts and I don't intend to be one of those smokers that I hear them students becoming. :P ~Jason

Bad principles can wreck elementary schools, but I'm not sure what sort of effect they have on High Schools. I've known some pretty big jackasses in administration, though.
