    When I moved up to Seattle in 1980 or so I shared a rental with my brother and his girlfriend on NE 69th just north of Roosevelt High.

    More self aggrandizing assholes

    It's funny. My uncle and mom went to Roosevelt in the 50s. The fball team was trash then too. I think QA (RIP) was good.

    This has been fun, maybe we need to move it to the history bored. Or talk it over at 3rd Place Pub.

    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?
