What part of the country are you in, 12th?

Out here in LA ("major metropolitan area", right), there's like "way more students" than there are teachers and administrators and security guards, in most of the schools.

The reality out here, is that students just kinda ignore the rules, for the most part.

Really - I mean, I've been to the inner city schools "a lot", one of my best buds is a science teacher in the 'hood, and so on.... and it's like, these kids, they just kinda "show up", but other than that, they pretty much do whatever they want. You know, my bud, as a teacher, can tell some kid twelve times in a row, to toss his can of Coke into the trash can, and he won't do it, right? He'll just sit there sippin' out the thing with this dumb smile on his face, and then when teach says, "go see the principal", the kid doesn't want to do that either, he's still sittin' there sippin' his Coke, right?

So I mean, these kids - on any given 10am class break, you can see a few of 'em passing around joints in the hallway, a few more with the colored t-shirts passing "something else" in paper bags, and then there's always a few of 'em huddled in a corner somewhere, doin' the nasty or somethin' - I mean, it does get like that, it's like, mozie down the stairway by the little emergency exit door, and you'll see three or four couples down there, they're like "sharing space" and ignoring each other just so they can get it on with their partners, that kinda thing.....

Do you see anything like that in your neck o' the woods? Just curious.....
