Its what you make of it. I have never heard of a school that has never had a good portion of it's students go on to higher education. I just never understood, even the studenst at my high school, that had it in their heads that my high school sucked so there was no point in applying yourself. Geez...I was a C student at best, and I was one of the VERY few that actually graduated college. Most of the "a" students that I knew in high school dropped out of college and are working construction jobs and the like.

I dunno. Seems that I see folks placing too much blame on the school for their own demise. Life is what you make of it. Period.
exactly.

The problem is most 30 year olds don't grasp that much less teenagers. :lol:

That's where PARENTS need to be PARENTS and quit making EXCUSES for their kids making stupid decisions. High school is 4 years out of your life. Even I understood THAT much as a teen.

I totally agree. I begged my parents to send me to boarding school when I was in high school. I knew my friends weren't good for my education. :lol:

I had the opportunity to go to a prep school, tested for it, was accepted and told my mom that if she made me go, I'd fail on purpose. What a bunch of stuck up prissy *&^%$#@! students THAT place had. No way in hell was I going there.
