typical Senior things. Like Spraying the fire extinguisher at people Typical? 40 years ago, when I was your age, we never dreamed of misusing a piece of emergency equipment! That was in the same league with setting off a false fire alarm: it just wasn't done.
Besides, it would have resulted in a suspension.
High school IS "Big Boy and Girl" school. College is "Young Men and Women school."
Most high school seniors are LEGALLY ADULTS when they graduate, and should act like it. For many of the grads, it is the last time they will set foot in a class room.
For Poser's sake, I wish more would get a job, rather than waste their time and everyone's money on 'higher education' with a major in keggers, and minor in video gaming. He wouldn't be forced to toss so many out, and those wanting to learn would have an easier time doing so.
If you were indulging in such behavior as you describe, I can only shudder to imagine what the your Liberal classmates were doing!

I would like to make a rule that colleges can only accept students who have been out of high school and worked full-time for at least one year.
Of a freshman class of 82 teenagers, I have fewer than 10 who are serious about learning anything. About 60 of the 82 don't ever crack a book outside of class. Most skip at least 15% of classes. They wander into class 30 minutes late, talk continuously and expect make-up exams for no reason.
What is most amazing is that they expect to receive a B or better for that type of effort. Parents regularly show up in the Dean's office with a lawyer when I flunk their kid.
I'm the lucky one. I can throw them out of class when they won't shut up. Public school teachers don't have that luxury.
