Balta1701 Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 I spent most of my speech bashing the administration at my school and I didn't get noticed by ABC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregory Pratt Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 (edited) I got elected to my LSC, ripped the school and Administration all through my campaign, pledged not to be their lapdog as a slap to a bunch of people, and when I got elected, I resigned. I resigned because I was outnumbered on the LSC, and didn't really want to be on it. I just had some things to say, and some fun to have.

SoxAce Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Ya kid, you can say the same thing about almost every f***ing school in the U.S. that has students cheating, athletes skipping classwork and getting a free ride, and kids smoking and drinking in the bathrooms.. :rolly Seems like a full born nerd to me. Just be happy that you didn't participate in it, and most importantly you GRADUATED. Let those other kids be bums.- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasox24 Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 This is just a FYI, but this kid went to the same high school that Sox 34th round draftee Tyler Wright went to last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was not intended to help the senior class, offer guidance or instill nostalgia, and it distracted from the dignity of the commencement ceremony," Libby wrote in an op-ed to her local newspaper, the Sarasota Herald Tribune." Yeah, and the rampant drug use, cheating and douchebaggery you and your friends participated in was totally dignified, right? GMAFB.

Ohhhh, she called you a sophomore, what an insult! I hate class board members, they are really the worst. A lot of them just act squeaky clean when they actually aren't.

Dan Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 this kid is a f***tard. look at him for christsakes. if your gonna make a public call out to a certain group, at least make it funny. ill bet half the student population would like to kick this kids sorry ass. just look out for yourself and dont worry about other people because they have absolutly no bearing on what you do, thats what high schools all about. this kid comes off as one of those nerdy, loner types and probably figured this was his golden opportunity to have all eyes on him. the student council broad is nuts too. i actually did something similar to what this kid did at my HS graduation but not thru a speech, just having a little fun and my diploma was withheld. comming from experience, i wouldve told the kid, its your last day, give em what they want and be done with it. you got your diploma, everyone goes home happy and you start your post-HS life easy as that. just my $0.02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Higher level public schools are more halfway houses than institutions of learning. I applaud this kid. I agree with you. This year I had an excellent Pre-Cal/Calc I teacher and she laid the groundwork for a strict class at the beginning of the year and made cheating basically impossible. I learned by far the most I've ever learned in any class this year because of her. For those of you that say this happens in all High Schools in America, you are right. But that doesn't make it right. My High School was selected as one of the 40 best High Schools in the United States last year, and I have always felt that my school is screwed up and there is rampant drug and alcohol use.

Just because you went to school doesn't make you an expert about schools. I'm still waiting to see how your Masters in CS has any bearing on your claim that there are tons of diversity classes in mathematics in high school. If it doesn't have any bearing on the topic then you've got another baseless claim out there because I'm waiting for some evidence that classes don't teach math. I've sat in on plenty of math courses and know numerous teachers in IL that teach a variety of subjects (math included) that would greatly differ with your rash babbling about 'diversity classes' and the non-teaching of math. But who needs to have facts when you have right wing tinged babbling about public schools? Right Mr. Genius? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YASNY Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Our educational system has been on the decline for decades. This kid pointed out several of the reasons why in front of the only educational system to which he had access. You guys calling this kid a loser and a nerd, well I have news for you. He's going to be the one raking in the big bucks and getting the trophy wife because he considered his education important. The ones that skate through school doing just enough to get by, spending the bulk of your time being popular, being jocks or heads and trying to score the hot babes are the ones that will end up being losers.
