the american high school experience

the-american-bad-dream:

• million-dollar gyms but bathroom stalls with no doors
• speaking of bathrooms, shit sayings on the walls, mostly along the lines of “fuck this shit”
• stressed out anxiety-prone teens running on 3 hours of sleep and a shit ton of coffee
• the Pacer
• teachers saying “this isn’t middle school anymore”
• broken air conditioning 
• classrooms that either feel like the arctic tundra or the pits of hell
• “wikipedia isn’t a reliable source”
• a shit ton of standardized tests
• “if someone dies during the final, everyone gets an A, so who’s gonna take one for the team?”
• “if the teacher is fifteen minutes late we can leave.”
• jeopardy
• quizlet
• the cha-cha slide
• “mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell”
