Graduation can't get here fast enough. I'm in a pessimistic kind of mood so excuse the tone of this passage. I'm sick to DEATH of Coffee High and the things that come along with it (students, faculty, etc). I won't miss this every day. Coming to class overloaded with busy work, and teachers rushing through lesson plans, not thoroughly covering the material and making the students pay for it just because they're trying to meet "quotas." It's ridiculous. Student athletes not getting the opportunity to establish themselves as some of the greatest talent to come through Coffee High because some parent with "benefits" is overstepping authority. Horrible school food, totalitarian atmosphere, no privileges, nothing. I mean who would want to learn under these conditions? Students who've spent 12 or more years in high school get to the second semester of their senior year and are informed that they won't be able to walk across the field with the rest of the class they grew up with. All b/c of quotas.. trying to meet quotas.. not realizing the true damage it's causing. I'm SO glad I only have less than a week left here.
