You'll have to forgive me for being blinkered, the only view I have of american school life is Saved By the Bell. (but i do know all the words >to
hello everyone! the theme tune). well, i'm not american, but my (canadian) high school has been compared to a bad american sitcom many, many times. not only do we have completely segregated cliques of people, but there are also names put on the places they sit in school at lunch! the bottom floor of my school is a square, and there is one hallway that leads off of it with the theatre and music rooms. this hallways is nicknamed "loser hall" since it's where the so-called "artsy" kids hang out. it's really terrible- if any crossing-over happens between groups, it's talked about all over school ("Like, you just like don't like do that!"), that is, if it's anyone important enough......the main differences between my school and bayside( the saved by the bell school) are that instead of using the "geeky" kids to do homework, and then make fun of, the "cool" kids just ignore them completely. and instead of football being the cool sport to play, it's hockey. oh, and we aren't friends with our principal. erika xox +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
