Good luck finding that state...the way magazines and other people rate schools
rarely coincide with actual goodness. My high school falls into that category
(cause we're all a bunch of smart ass kids who can get above average scores on
standardized tests blindfolded, so we have more time, in school and out of, to
read, create art or music, etc.). At least it does for now. The changing
administration is buckling down on discipline (which means we have to get
craftier; Magnet students are notorious for being the biggest partiers and
class skippers), plus there are more people wasting their free time goofing
off. I'm one of the few "young intellectuals" left. Course, my grades could be
better, but then I wouldn't have time to read, do activist stuff, or have a
social life. In school itself, we have more arts related classes than almost
all other schools, as well as untypical PE classes such as fencing,
gymnastics, fundamentals of dance, badminton, and tennis. If anybody wants to
know other mundane stuff about my life, just ask.
