17 Thomas Wootton
29 Bethesda-Chevy Chase
71 Winston Churchill
80 Walter Johnson
107 Walt Whitman
154 Montgomery Blair

My school sucked so bad they destroyed and and knocked it into a pile of rubble. Then they built a new one right next to it that sucked just as bad. I'm glad I don't go there anymore. |

Damn straight, deep down inside, I'm actually AGAINST school spirit, I find it conceited, pompous, useless, and most of all, arrogant. I hate all kinds of spirit, even if it's for something that I did or I built, or where I go to, I just find spirit annoying.
On days like "school spirit day", when youre supposed to wear the school colors, some kids dye their hair, others wear pom poms, I wear black.
The only time I'd wear my school colors is if it were a requirement to do so. As a matter of fact, I helped design the robotics team shirts so that they'd be black, not displaying the school colors at all.
Why am I not spirited?
Because it's just a way to make more rivals, rivals mean enemies, enemies mean hate, hate means war, and war means death.
In turn, spirit = death |

Well, there is a fine line to having an amount of healthy pride in something, and teaching our kids how to be intolerant of those who belong to a different group, no? Teaching our students to dislike the other schools in "the spirit of competition" often does contribute to much negative conflict, and can warp the minds of the students so that when they become older, they have an unhealthy, jaded view on "competition," that borders on intolerance and hatred. |

anyways, school spirit is what makes the world go round. (at least in my school) heh I'm actually in charge of all school spirit days in my school. most of them involve fundraisers, which are going to the Darfur genocide relief efforts. In my school, tomorrow is "Beach Day" (people dress like theyre going to the beach) and Friday is "Hat Day" (people can wear a hat if they donate money). hats are usually not allowed in school btw |

Because you still have about 100 more years to enjoy your life, if you fuck up in school being distracted, it will affect the rest of your life. |
