Unbelievable

Being home schooled from forth grad (whoops) I've had an interesting view of education. But just recently I was enrolled at the Camas High School for 4 class periods in which I was told were to be used towards the furthering of my education, but I quickly found out that was not the case for most students there. Within about 3 days I found myself with a referral and an explanation why that made no sense (apparently it's a violation to finish my lunch early and wait for my next class in the locker bay nearby). I'm suprised I don't get frisked every time I walk through the door. but the other day I was waiting after my classes for an after school assembly and decided to go see some friends in the commons between classes but as I moved through the mob of juniors looking for the small freshmen group near the center I bumped into someone, this someone turned and started smacking my backpack swearing at me between insults, I slowly turned half amused and half in shock at the reaction to such an inevitable thing as the young man started swearing at me some more daring me to touch him again I very nearly hit the guy but thought of the referral already blemishing my permanent record so I just turned away to talk to my friend and heard him and his friends swearing about the exchange behind me. After the five minute passing time I returned to my seat near the library thought about the not so slow decline of behavior in the public school system and continued the homework I had started earlier and proceded with my day with new found pity upon all those associated with the young man in the commons.
