AP CHEMISTRY tomorrow

University is not at all a different place. There is actually very little that is atypical about our school. Take for instance the schools belief that we are a different place, and therefore we are responsible enough to go to class on time even though we do not have bells. This however fails in practice however. Take for instance our choir class today, where at the time class ‘started’ as the schedule dictated, three people had entered the room (one of which had left to get a drink of water). That is an overwhelmingly low percentage of a choir that has almost thirty people. One would think this is an outlier, but when you look at another class with less then strict enforcement of the rules (AP Calculus) you see a similar trend. Make no mistake; this is not a singular event. Today in choir, I saw seven people send or receive a text message ranging from the most virtuous of us to regular abusers. Furthermore, I was not actively looking for such illicit activity. In the end, we are no different then other students at other schools, but integrity is not a core value, so it can be ignored. My verdict, the shirt should say: Wanted: Your typical student

WOAH This blog was deep dog. It seriously altered my previous view on the world. I agree with you that the school's view of itself fails in practice. One of the examples in which that proves true is diversity day. As time has passed fewer and fewer people have cared about the values of diversity day. Even the school has acknowledged this. The school has resorted to keeping diversity day a secret just to keep people from skipping it. This was blatantly obvious in morning meeting when mr geter announced that everyone should not report to their first period classes but should rather report to andrews hall.
