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.

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.
