I actually wrote this yesterday, but on a different blog site...soo here ya go->
"I am pissed off...so many people were talking about going to protest, but only like one person I knew was there. Doesn't anybody care about what high school they go to???!?
Apparently, some of you guys reading this might not know the deal. In my city, there is this lottery thing that determines what high school you go to. They set each of our city's three high schools with certain magnet programs: art, language, & technology. They gave us a form to fill out, where we chose our first, second, and third choices. (pretty dumb, considering there are only three schools to choose from) I wanted to go to the art school since I'm planning on going into either web design, graphic design, or both. Buttttttttttt, over half the rising 9th graders picked the art school as their first choice so very few got in... And I was one of those who didn't. =( It's pretty nuts that they did this whole thing...a lot of people picked the art school because their friends are going there or b/c they're "AFRAID OF GETTING SHOT" at the other schools...[STUCK UP RACIST PRICKS ] AHHH it annoys me BEYOND WORDS that people who don't care AT ALL about art got into the art school... This school "choice" plan is the most unfair thing I've experienced in my whole life!
The reasons why they started this whole "choice" plan are RETARDED. They want the schools to be "socioeconomically diverse" which means they want the poor people mixed in with the rich....I don't think poor people like being around rich people and I don't think rich people like being with the poor... Sooo if people are scrambled up and feeling out of place then they definitely aren't going to do as well in school. This plan is going to cost a motherload of money for all the busing... Kids who used to be able to walk to school are now going to have to spend at least 45 minutes on a bus. It's crazy. They should be using this money to help out the kids and not to ship them around on a bus every day! I wonder how long it will take the school board to realize they made a fricken mistake..."
