I hate AP courses.

that school looks really cool though

that's no school. That's the admin building. Yes, That building cost more just to build than it cost to build and furnish any school they control. Then they rent out a nearby parking garage for ~$13,000 every month.

And again in Junior year. :/
I guess in more detail maybe?

That's fairly silly, because you learn it vaguely in 4th grade but in detail in 8th grade...

daaang.
schools here apparently got absolutely no cash from the state so we're struggling for printer paper.

I don't know if its just in America, but usually in school you learn a lot of subjects more than once.
Like I learned biology in 4th grade... and 7th... and 9th...

I don't know if its just in America, but usually you learn a lot of things more than once.

Well, it doesn't make any sense to relearn something more than once. Like, in elementary school it makes sense to relearn in middle, but highschool should teach new concepts, not revisit old ones...

The school takes in 50% of all Frederick County taxes, and yet we have "budget cuts." We also pay 3 of Maryland's best lawyers to sit around and do nothing, just in case FCPS get's sued. They all take in about 2Million a year each. We also have roaches. They crawl out of your desks all the time. I loving hate those things.

Your school must be raking in dough to be paying that much to lawyers though. Looks like they should focus on the school instead of some big fancy office.

Thats a good point.. they probably just do this because a lot of the subjects we learn are the basis of many other subjects.

Frederick county?  Hory shet, that's not far from me.

But why the hell do you have lawyers ffs...

Start a protest.  Christ, even Baltimore County schools are better off.

Oh my, Someone has the right idea! I could go on about how my school is screwed up, but I would bore/annoy you.

Really? Finally, I found a Blockhead close to me. Also, Baltimore County is better? Fack.

Pm it or whatever. I wanna hear it because I love hearing about it.

I've been to a few BC public schools, they're not bad.  They don't have posh school buildings but it's not like there's money being wasted.  There's still a budget hole for Maryland/Baltimore so I dunno where the hell your school was getting the idea for that kinda crap.

Oh, How does my school suck? Let me list the ways.

We've got those aforementioned lawyers, the lack of parking lot, misuse of money, roaches, the "new" computers have a whole GB of RAM, the new monitors have 16bit color depth, we have the worst teachers (no one wants to come here), The Standardized tests are fixed so that every year they get easier (Artificially raises some sort of goal that they try to meet), Are school uses Earth Day to make kids repaint the school and clean their fields for them (I found a 20 Gauge Shotgun shell once), and many, many other ways.

No offense but D:

This is likely illegal and I highly suggest moving schools.

If you can afford it, look into private schools.  There are some in Baltimore County that are pretty good but they come with hefty pricetags.
