I think because my school is in the suburbs, so they make really big shit about stuff like this.The Austin said:IncindiaryPickle said:As most of you probably never heard about, my school KPHS has been the topic of national news.
If you are in America and watch ABC news regularly, you'll know that my school has an alleged "fight club" following behind the school. Everybody knew about it and a lot of people (myself included) enjoyed spectating.
There's no link, but you can find it on the ABC news database.
So, has this (or anything similar) happened to others on the Escapist?
What, what? A school in my district has a Fight Club, and we don't get in trouble for it, why did you guys?
Yes, Teen pregnancies, stoners openly smoking in the halls, along with teachers, multiple fight clubs, a student recently died in a car crash, a kid was found drinking bleach when his mom died (still in hospital) and a tonne more.Tyson765 said:My school managed to...
A.
Allow a girl to be hospitalized by a boy at a school bad mitten meet and then claim that as it was off school grounds they couldn't do anything, then the girl was told to stop spreading lies about what happened by one of the heads of school when she answer peoples question on why she had missed a week of school and was covered in bruises. That same head of school stood up in assembly as this girl sat there bruised to hell and said that rumors were exagerated because he had only hit her once when really it had been multiple times and then kicking her on the ground. (they were in grade 9 and the boy's family were good friends with this head of school.)
B.
Allowed a grade 5 girl to be beaten up by two 17-18 year olds twice in two weeks and only did something when the parents asked her why she didn't want to go to school any more and threatened to sue when they found out what had happened.
C.
My best friend there was a Singaporean guy who went by the tag of BlazerKnight.
He scored better than half the school at the end of the year even though alot of his stuff was late in but they then sent him home. (this is the same head of school from A.) this is so she could have international students that she liked take his place and also saved a place for another person who was leaving of her own free will.
He later took his own life because he missed his friends in Tas so much and the pressure to do well in Singapore got him down. That was why he got sent here in the first place.
D.
told my girlfriend it was her own fault she was bullied for not trying to fit in.
This is the most expensive school in Tasmania who also have a great reputation due to being a "Quaker" school.
The Quakers of Tasmania have distanced themselves from the school because of how bad it has gotten.
Think your school has problems?
I've actually had ideas like that. Our school is really close to a forest with trails running through it. We fought on the trails originally, but we could do it further down where we wouldn't get caught.Liberaliter said:Could just set it up somewhere else, it also sounds like a good way to bet and make money.
I want to go to your school.not_the_dm said:A couple of years back one of the sport team captians punched a fellow studnt out in a chemistry lesson. Was he put in a detention? No. The head of chemistry did however compliment him on the quality of his punch.
Also, the head of economics formed a club. Offically it's a "Mixed Martial Arts" club, what they actually do is spar for the duration, the staff also take part in this. So far there has been 2 broken legs, a shattered wrist, 2 cracked ribs and 4 broken noses. They started in September.
Some people are stupid. I love my paki/indian/afghan/asian friends. I actually think I have more friends nonwhite than white.DesiPrinceX09 said:snip
The thing is, I go to a grammar school. We've got a royal charter for our founding, that means that only an act of parliment can close us down.firedfns13 said:I want to go to your school.not_the_dm said:A couple of years back one of the sport team captians punched a fellow studnt out in a chemistry lesson.

I see nothing wrong with the club. As long as the people taking part are doing so voluntarily and know the risks involved.
It's like what a military academy does around where I live. If 2 kids are fighting, they give them boxing gloves after school on friday, let them box it out under supervision, and then everyone goes home and gets on with life.
So is mine. I live in Sarasota, Florida.IncindiaryPickle said:I think because my school is in the suburbs, so they make really big shit about stuff like this.The Austin said:IncindiaryPickle said:As most of you probably never heard about, my school KPHS has been the topic of national news.

I have a question.the_tramp said:Then there was this time a science teacher got bored with the crappy quantities of chemicals that you're allowed to mix in class so he put in about 10 times as much which caused an explosion you could hear half way across the school. He got in a little bit of trouble for that.
