You know you go to public school when...
1. You run to wherever a fight is so you can get a front row seat, (if you haven't already joined in).
2. One of your school's senior superlatives is "most likely to take off their earrings, throw back their tracks, and stab someone."
3. The only white people you know all think they are black.
4. You still don't know how to divide fractions.
5. You're so broke that you steal from 7-11 just like you steal Little Debbie snacks from the lunch line.
6. You don't know where the nurse's office is, but you know 12 different routes to avoid the security office.
7. You own at least 2 Bob Marley or Tupac shirts.
8. You actually say 'yeahdoe' like it's a real word.
9. You can't remember the last time you said a whole sentence without cursing.
10. You know how to get a free or reduced lunch.
11. You stay screaming everywhere you go just like you do when you're in the hallway.
12. You know more people who sell drugs than you do people on the honor roll.
13. Everyone thinks they know how to dress but really they look a hot ass mess.
14. Your mama doesn't want you to wear your North Face to school because she thinks you're going to get shot for it.

rofl Mind if I copy this and send it to my friend Kaitlyn? She goes to USC, in the armpit of the south, and I think that she could relate and would also find it very amusing. USC, University of South Carolina, not South California. California rocks out loud.

hoax man.ooh just kidding.oh you know if your in a publick school if you are with people who are both sighted and have other disabilities and visual impairments.and, your classes are mainstreamed (when you are in a regular class like your sighted peers doing the same work just in a different way using different materials like audio books and such)when you are treated equally by your fellow peers.when, you can get around and solve problems like they do.When you feel no different from everyone.but there can be both good and bad times.

What you say Priscy is true, but I'd sure hate to have to diagram that last sentence of yours.

Uh. I don't know what sort of public school you attend/have in the past, but all fourteen years of public school I had were in a tiny, white-bread town, and there were no drugs until one got to the high school level, which I attended in another, larger town. But, in primary school and junior high, everyone was as white, and usually as much of a rocker as one could expect. Rap wasn't popular, but goth and punk music certainly were, and their attendant subcultures were in full swing.

you know you used to attend public school when...
1. you can still write your name in smoke.
2. you memorized the code to the Public Address system and think about paging someone from the comforts of your home.
3. when you feel that a fire alrrm not pulled is boring and not worth your time.
4. when you still have marks on your penis from beating it off during apep assembly. (note those only lasted a week or so)
and...I'll think of more. these aren't good, but there you go

People say that it is an insult to be blind.

My favorite memory of public school is when I atended High School. I would pretend to be laust and see if I could get a hot girl to help me to class. It often worked. The problem was I was to chicken to try to get her phone number. That's another story I won't get in to. During my first 2 years of college I got a lot of numbers from girls with little seccuss at trying to get them to like me. But we won't go there right now.

If an insult too be blind then I'm insulting myself every day.

Let me say something, and I will no doubt get a million punches about this one. But I have learnt from experience that the way to impress people in public school is *not* to act stupid in the hopes that someone will come and help you. For example, pretending you're lost. Of course, if you are really lost, that's a different matter. What normally works for me is chatting with the people around in a particular class and completely leaving blindness out of it (or, mostly out of it). In other words:
1. Talk about hobbies, interests, etc..
2. Ask lots of questions about the other person's hobbies and interests (within reason of course but people like that).
3. At least at first, mention as few "blindness-related" activities as possible. For example, if you tell someone that you love Showdown, or listen to ACB Radio Interactive, or chat on the Zone, they will start to think of you as more "different".
4. Get everyone's MSN. Mention the fact that you have a special program that reads IMs to you and so you don't need an adult to read your chats for you. I had one person assume that this was the case and when they learned otherwise, they became much more comfortable to talk to me.
Just some thoughts. Somewhat unrelated I know but I had lots of time tonight and have been doing lots of thinking about this kind of thing. Cheers.

That's actually good advice. Not a lot of sighted people even know what the ACB is let alone ACB radio, and they might as well be in the twilight zone when you mention *THE ZONE!* LOL!
