If the multiple universes hypothesis is true (which would just amount to another way in which Phillip Pullman is really the never-credited author of all Western philosophy), I think the past few weeks have let me peek under the thinner curtain's folds. Here's the reality fissure: there were a few months, back in the hormone-hazed distance of ( Read more... )

So, I just typed out some snide comment about how I couldn't believe that you're actually happy about being a TRHS veteran...

But then I erased it when I start thinking about Rouse and Davis and Johnson... and even Forkner.

We really did come out of that high school having seen the best of it.

I know. Weeeeeeeird. I mean, TRHS was the school where administrators would walk down the halls and, in with the same intonations used to comment about the weather, hold this conversation:

ADM. 1: Soooo...it's a great day to be a Grizzly.

*pause, reflection.*

ADM. 2: Yup.

"In with"? Durrrhh, TRHS taught me grammar real good.

I'd add Bennethum and Rowe to that list, but that's just me...

Seeing 'pretentious' as your current mood at the end of that post made it absolutely lovely, after a through, modest and honest post. I think I've experienced the same thing, a few IB kids didn't seem to really get anything out of it, or, at least, the program didn't really seem to beat the intellictual agressiveness out of it. Maybe it's the AP progam itself to be credited (by that I mean the teachers) but maybe it's just that lust for understanding, critical inquiry and analysis that was partially satisfied through the AP program and, either way, either program would have done that. It all lives in uncertainty, unless you're planning time travel.

I guess that really depends on just how rasa my tabula was upon entering high school. As soon as my Flux Capacitor comes in the mail we'll start running experiments.

Ehhh, I never had those teachers.

But I'm sure they were excellent.

hmm you lived in roxbrough. the world seems smaller. I was the class after the change. originally I was bent on opptionally enrolling in dchs but Im glad I did trhs. realisticly I couldnt see a difference.... more classes yes but after going to middle school there I never wanted to take another 45 minute bus ride in my life. besides who could give up johnson and I had stickland... both helped me to find my degree and career avenue. one public instituion is as good as the next right? okay well maybe.
