I recently wrote this on my Facebook and thought I'd like to share it with you all, as well as discuss our High Schools and overall feelings toward public education as a whole.

Note: This post was about James Campbell High School, located in Ewa Beach, Hawaii. If I need to later, I'll elaborate on some of the school's policies.

At times, I feel like I had been cheated out of opportunity due to the fact that I went to https://www.facebook.com/jchshawaii.

As students, and probably teachers to, we never had good role models there, with the exception of a few teachers (you know who you are.) We never had guest speakers, at least ones that actually gave a [censored] about their audience. The ones that we did have were nothing more than representatives from some company that were pushing their worthless products onto us, or someone telling us basic rules of society that we all were taught (or should have been) in Elementary, if not our parents or society itself.

Where was the College Professors to give us a taste of what a good lecture is like? Where was a library that didn't have many restrictions put in place, discouraging students from ever wanting to go there? Where was a uniform that we could take pride in wearing, as opposed to something that made us resemble people whom had no respect for themselves? Where was a Student Council filled with people whom were qualified to lead, instead of filled with children still in a fantasy, whether they were teenagers or old woman?

Where was inspiration in Campbell? The only thing Campbell as a whole ever taught me is a lesson in what I should never aspire to be. The standards were low, and the staff encouraged that everybody celebrate in the most mediocre of accomplishments, if they could even be called that.

This is only a grain of the salt I have for this place. If you want to quote me on it for one reason or another, absolutely go ahead.

Because I know I'm not done dealing with this state, nor am I done dealing with terrible education systems and the people behind them. But there is one thing that will be changing soon enough: Those people will have to deal with me, and they will be doing so on a scale nobody expected.

[censored]ty. trashy. Country. Very pro life.

Hm... For the two years I went to my highschool, I hated it. It was pretty hellish for me and will not want to experience it again. I am glad I left my highschool for a career tech school during my Junior and Senior years.

High...school? What is this mysterious institution? Is it similar to elementary school?

it was school? i just did what i had to do to get the hell out of it and never look back.

Grade 9,10 and 11 were great! Had plenty of great friends, girls who were interested in me and very rarely would a day go by where I didn't LMAO. I miss those days...

Now I'm grade 12 and I dread waking up every morning... Please let it end!

Being in college for almost a year has wiped my memory of high school.

I loved high school. Caveat is that I went to a private school.

High School. Worst 5 years of my life.

I had an enjoyable time at high school. Teachers were alright (some great, some dreadful), had a good group of friends (most of whom even now 5 years after graduating I'm still close to) and generally enjoyed the learning experience. Ended up graduating in the top 3% of the country that year. Didnt really have any problems with bullying (the fact I'm 6"2' probably helped) and most of the kids were generally alright.

Depends on who you asked at my school. We all mostly kept to ourselves, but I was able to fit in with all the groups, so I really couldn't tell you. I got in a few fights, but it was the typical High School BS, and it cemented my supremacy on that horrible institution of Imperialism.

I was only there for two years, I graduated early. I never exactly knew anyone my age but I was pretty popular with my class.

My high school, for the most part, had great staff, provisions and was accesable for everyone. I still go there now for Sixth Form College, and it's even better with all the extra freedom.

As for the social side, I started rocky but by the end of my third year there I'd made good friends and had decent connections to every group. The popularity's grown (as much as it can between about 90 Sixth Form students) and now I'm doing pretty well for myself, socially. Been very busy in the last few weeks.

Oh, and the friends I have now are an absolute howl. We're even beginning to just record our conversations and put them on YouTube because of the stupidity and how wildly inappropriate they are. The videos are lined up and getting edited now. (Hint, you can tell who I am by the Barry White voice)

Was/still am a loner so high school was mostly normal-ish for me.

My highschool was like a [censored] jungle man! They were in the tree's man the [censored] tree's!!!

You weren't a loner. They just kept confusing your identity because you kept radically changing your appearance every day.

Andddddd just found out that someone from said school I went on a rant about recently murdered a person.

Football player, surprise surprise.
