We Answered:

Edison Middle School where?

I substutute at an Edison Middle School, and I have heard several girls screaming at their lockers; but, then, I have heard girls screaming in the lunch room, the bathroom, even the classroom. What does that mean?

Jerome Said:

For college, how much does it matter from which high school a student graduates?

We Answered:

It matters, but it is a secondary (at best) issue.

If your children are interested in going to college in the East (I went to Princeton), it would be much easier for them to have gone to JP Stevens, because the East Coast universities know that school. Further, they will have more community involvement, etc. given their achievements and other activities will be associated with that community, which universities care about. They also could visit the campuses they are interested in long before their Junior year (the usual time for campus visits) and make their interest known to the admissions people at the various universities. Face time does help. Further, the college counselors at Stevens will likely have contacts at the East Coast schools that they will not have at USC, UCLA, or Cal Tech.

If you are interested in West Coast universities, then it may make sense to go to Whitney for the same reasons.

All that said, there are so many intangibles, e.g., are your children interested in sports? Perhaps Stevens has a much better football team than Whitney, and that may be your children's true love, or Whitney may have a magnet program in arts or mathematics that your children would be interested in, that the name of the high school probably doesn't matter as much as you think. It will come down to grades, SAT scores, and all the other intangibles, and, unfortunately, a little bit of luck. If your children get the grades (GPAs OVER 4.0 are not uncommon) and the SAT scores (where 1450 is considered 'average' for Ivy League schools) and have something that sets them apart from their peers (outstanding extra-curricular activities, such as lettering in a sport or two, community service, playing a musical instrument, etc.), they will have a good shot at going to whatever school they really want to go to.

Look at the WHOLE package, what your children are interested in, and which top universities they may be interested in, and choose based on their interests, not solely on a "ranking" of a high school.

Good luck! If only every parent cared as much as you do!

Chad Said:

im 14 i live in port arthur,Texas and im going to be a 9th grader this year but i dont want to go to the?

We Answered:

Last year, I went to a community college. In my political science class, I met a 15 year old boy with a similar problem to yours. He was taking college courses (through a home school program) to get his high school credits. You might ask your parents to look into such a program. He was much happier in that kind of school setting and was going to graduate before he turned 17. Keep in mind this happened in California. Check to see if Texas has a program along the same academic lines. You may do well with older people.
Good luck!

Bonnie Said:

need a good slogan and speech ideas for student treasurer?

We Answered:

You too?
I can't think of anything! I have to have it on the 20th!
uhhh!! So Fustrating!
We don't even get to campaign, it is all based on the speech! No Posters, no Nothing!

Here is what I have so Far:
If you elect me as Student Council Treasurer, I’ll make sure your Student Council’s cashbox is far from “wandering” hands. I will make sure the fundraisers and the money we think about spending isn’t worthless. We would make sure that our student government is not going to spend its limited budget on unnecessary things.

--------------------------------------…


When I say Unneccesary things I meant like the Awnings the student Council Funded when the school didn't have the money to put them their. They asked us and the people who voted for it didn't understand how that would affect our budget.
