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.
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.
The number of kids from Queen Anne and Magnolia that were purposely bussing to Franklin and Garfield was high. Ballard rebuild and poof, all wanted to go to Ballard.
Can't agree with you any more. SPS are potentially at their best, at least in perception, in my lifetime.
Problem with schools is this: A bad event takes years to learn about, and then the school gets a bad rep that lasts for a decade, long after the problems are fixed.
Mainly because most Seattle people are lazy sheep who make decisions based on rumors and what the neighbors are doing.
Fuck I hate this City anymore. The tail always wags the dog around here.
If you live in Seattle, then Fuck You. It's not personal.
