Since their high school has "Prep" as part of its name, presumably they are all college-bound.
The word “prep” seems deceptive to me. That particular “prep” school is a public “alternative” school. I’m from Memphis, but they have recently merged city and county schools, so I no longer know much about them. However, I believe that particular school is for troubled inner-city kids who were disciplinary problems or habitual truants in their regular out-of-control government schools.
I am glad that video exists and I can’t wait to show it to my teenage daughters. It is a perfect illustration of why I have told them to never stop for gas in Memphis (we now live just south in Mississippi). In fact, they have been told to never even drive through 75% of the city.
Right. These thugs go to Prep Academy. Sounds pretty fancy. Unfortunately they’re still thugs.
Why do educators think giving a school a fancy name will result in better behaving students? It’s lipstick on a pig.
What’s the old saying, You can lead a ho to culture but you can’t make her think.
