You Roughriders realize Roosevelt parents lobbied for portables on the playfield, right? Sports are so toxically masculine and stupid, they argued.
Who'd have thunk that, right? All of Seattle has become a liberal hellhole. Roosevelt won't remain unscathed.
First and foremost, I am here for the RHS Hawt Talk.
Second, it's Rough Rider. Two words. Bone of contention for me.
Third, as nice as the remodel was, adding a parking lot shrunk the campus. I believe despite being the largest school in the district (maybe Ballard, they tend to flip flop) it sits I believe on the smallest campus of all the high schools. The rumor was the school district was going to purchase the block of houses behind the school to allow for more room, parking, etc. I'm guessing there was push back. They really should have just purchased the block in front of the school for parking. Old campus had a large annex building that housed the lunch room and about 8-12 classrooms.
Many of the wokies in the area are definitely transplants, and despite sending their kids to one of the largest elementary schools in the district (Bryant), largest middle school (Eckstein), and now largest high school, all with above average test scores, they still fight for smaller class sizes. Really if you value your kids education, just make certain they complete their homework. Getting into college won't be hard from RHS. My poont is that back in the 50's and 60's when there was 2500 kids mashed into the building, they still seemed to pump out a couple of nobel prize winners, despite 30 or more students per class.
My class had eleven National Merit Finalists. Lakeside wasn't putting up that number in the 70s. Some of that population got siphoned off to the the AP program at Garfield, of course. But it was still a good school when my kids were there, not that long ago.

My class, did not. Definitely the AP program had an impact. Knew multiple kids who lived in the area who bussed down to Garfield for the AP program and science magnate.

Obviously AP classes are just an example of systemic institutionalized racism. SF is going to fix this.
JOANNE JACOBS: Academic high school is too elite (and Asian) for SF.
After denaming 44 schools — including Abraham Lincoln High — for historical imperfections, San Francisco school board is fast-tracking a plan to end merit-based admissions for Lowell High School, one of the top high schools in California, reports David Li for NBC News.
The board is on track to approve a resolution to admit students to Lowell (which will be renamed) by lottery, rather than grades and test scores. Selectivity “perpetuates the culture of white supremacy and racial abuse towards Black and Latinx students,” states the resolution.
The real issue is Chinese supremacy. Of Lowell’s 2,871 students, 50.6 percent are Asian, mostly Chinese, in a district that’s 33.4 percent Asian, reports Li.
They’ll destroy Lowell because that’s what leftists do.

I'm so confused. When faced with the fact that no whites have played CB in the NFL for 20 years we're told it's because of merit, the best people play regardless of the skin color. But here we're told that "merit" is really racist, because too many Asians (the white man's proxy) are being admitted and not enough blacks are being admitted.
Can I get some kind of list showing where merit is okay to be used in order to select people and where using merit is really racist and shouldn't be used?

Before the Ballard rebuild, Roosevelt ruled the North and Garfield ruled the South. Everyone wanted into either of those.
Things have changed a lot as the City has grown and gentrified and there really aren't any really, really bad High Schools anymore. Families at Franklin, Ballard, Ingraham, Hale, Beach and West Seattle are content. Sealth and Cleveland aren't great, but they don't suck like when nobody wanted to go there and they were falling apart.
But SPS and the Union are certain to fuck that up and destroy 20 years of progress in the name of Social Justice, and parents who are serious will flock to charters and the community colleges for running start, because most of the young public school teachers today are SJW assholes and flunkies not competent to run a dog kennel.

It was APP, not AP. Every school has AP classes. Garfield had a larger catalog, but the Accelerated Progress Program (APP) at Washington MS ended in 8th grade. Most APP kids matriculated to Garfield to stay together with the kids they'd known since 1st grade.
It doesn't matter anymore, however. They've all bought into the "APP is Racist" mantra and driven a stake through the heart of the program, and Garfield's academics have plummeted as the class-skipping to go protest model has become it's primary purpose anymore. "We'll turn the streets into our classrooms" they brag, teaching kids to block traffic and harass the neighborhood.
Maybe they'll smash up some windows downtown, or even "attack the Capitol" someday. One can only hope for such bright futures.
nobody i know in SF sends their kids to public schools anyway.
'uh, its really hard to get our kids to school with the school so far away....so we do private school'
whatever.
Few people living in the city have kids. Even fewer white people who live in the city have kids. Of those that do, many of them have the money to send their kids to private schools. This isn't true for Asians. More Asian people who do live in the city have children. Many of them can not afford private schools. There are some good public schools in the city and Lowell was one of them.

APP, right you are.
Garfield's academics simply went where they would have gone anyway without the artificial inflation that placing the APP program there caused.
APP shouldn't exist not because APP is racist, but because all schools should have accelerated programs as well as regular programs. Like the olden days. But I'm an old curmudgeon who thinks we should still have shop classes in school too.
