Pros
1. Mixed. Glad of that. 2. Smaller classes. 3. Inter House Music Competition/performance/singing etc(my house won it for five years in a row!) 4. Campanology companion. 5. CCF gliding (awesome opportunity for that) Cons 1. Out in the middle of freaking nowhere. 2. boarding school - so, snobbish lot, a lot of bitches, jackasses, etc, had to live there constantly. 3. The bitchiness, bullying of others, couldn't escape and if so, only for a weekend. 4. Chapel was compulsory...bleh 5. Chapel services every so often... even more bleh 6. CCF drills (*shakes head in disbelief at memory*)

PROS
Cool Vice Principal Nice art department Pretty sweet forensics class. CONS SHITTIEST KEY CLUB EVER! Teachers expect perfection from every kid. (That CAN be considered a pro, I know) Overly biased teachers Too many BAD druggies. (there is a difference..I'm friends with GOOD druggies.) There are only 3 black kids. So all of the white kids apparently feel the need to fill that void in our ghetto-ness? I dunno. Too many wiggers at my school. It's too small. (I came from a school with about 3,000 students. This one has only 1,060..ish) We are the phucking HORNETS. Okay?! I'm sorry..but The HIGHLAND HORNETS are just NOT menacing. (better than where I came from..."The Medina Bees") .................................................. .......... Can't you tell? I am NOT a fan of my school.

Sandown High School:
Things to understand - On the island we have a 3 tier system, unusual for England. Primary 4-9 , Middle 10 - 14 , and High 14-16 or 18. Pros: Mixed gender. (not thata that ever did me any good) Uniform - EQUALISER PEOPLE!!! Comfortable too. 6th formers get loads of private areas and free time. Small - about 1600 people (still the biggest on the island) Only a mile away - a 3 minute bike ride in moderate traffic. A few cool teachers. A few great people. Small age range. Cons: "Specialist Sport College" - Departments can only get funds id they relate everything to sports(SLIGHT exaggeration)- Massive over-emphasis on sports, all other subjcts suffer Old Grammar School building with 60's addon - piss poor layout Almost zero maintainace. NO lockers except for a few in the music room for expensive instuments. Been robbed of dozens of laptops on countless occasions. Crap teaching in general. Crap resources in general. Entire bdget being pissed away on pointless "upgrades". No CCTV anywhere near the car parks or bike racks. BTEC sports students. CRAPPY canteen with worse "food". Pointless assemblies. BIG PRO: I have been "finished" for a couple of weeks, but I OFFICIALLY, LEGALLY FINISHED TODAY at 11:47 AM!! with the handing in of my clearance form. (Well, actually yesterday as I write this)

Pros of Valhalla High:
-You learn how to be a warrior -You are molded into a REAL MAN, not a pansy "tortured soul" "lost artist" or some other pseudo-intellectual bull. -You learn the intricacies of women -You learn the basis behind the 'real world', not the bullshit your teachers tell you -The teachers are gods -The students are gods -The girls are godly -Gym Class includes the killing of your peers, I usually win -Art is determined by how well you carve up your enemy. Cons: Haha? No cons to being in Valhalla high.

Crikey Njord. You'd be right at home on an ancient battlefield, dressed in wolf pelt and swinging an axe at some poor suckers face wouldn't you.
