“Are They Trying To Tell Me Something?”or“the C.R.U.D. Program”

“Care and Research for Uniform Development of Disoriented Youth Project…. “An initiative for creating resourceful minds, C.R.U.D.D.Y. provides beginning High School students with new and unfamilliar challenges”…"A ‘Practicing Education Together ’ project, from the State Board of Schools." – and by…“Creating Resources by Utilizing Dumpsters” Program… “The Area program for utilizing unappreciatred resources, for the purpose of acclamating new students, and helping develop new student character”… "Administered by the Pitts Area School Association, with oversight from the state ’P.E.T. Project’ "….

Ugh! I had a term in college where I had 15 minutes to go a quarter mile between two classes. Talk about sprinting! And in winter, too. That was not fun. Hope the freshman straps on his running shoes!

Our princinpal was real mad that white kids at are school were getting 1 paper to do and everyone got As in the advanced class to make it look good and the grades were kept lower for other students. Then the white kids got to skip out to the drugstore during school and skip gymn. So he made it that if you were late once you got a week or two of detention at a delinquent school. And he had lockers at the temporary building were a fast sprint to make it to next class on time- no running allowed. Our Geometry teacher had another method- since the white girl got to use a tutor she just made the final so no one could pass it and we all had to go to summer school. But our principal was known as “Pops ’o Daddy”. And he put air holes in his paddle.

Sheriff:Is the boy in black with the prison cut meant to mean he is a Juvie? What’s the deal with the black and buzz this time?

Miss Direction is good! Or Miss Communication…

(People Eating Tasty Animals)^The annual banquet is always done in good taste…

in my sophomore year, my locker was on the second floor. I had no classes that year on the second floor…

My son has never used his locker. He didn’t even bother to get one this year.

That poor, innocent freshman! :(

Or Miss Perception…

Wow… those were party animals!

Miss Alignment… ha ha! – One thing Bernice will tell you, it’s never “Miss Take”….

That would be the Tiffster.

I never bothered to get a locker except in high school when I had to because we weren’t allowed to carry our bags with us into classes (except gym). I don’t quite get the logistics when in elementary, middle, and college/university you’re allowed to have your bag in class.

@Ron,

If you see this, you must go to today’s (9/17) Ballard Street. Bev was kind enough to notice that you have had part of your dream come true.

What a Miss Guided conversation

Today’s Playlist:Up all Nite by David Bowie

Not to turn the playlist into the original Spinal Tap/Austin Power’s style parody band with “Useless Information”. From the Move who finally had to write an anti-drug song to prove they were making fun of hippies and not promoting the lifestyle but um… yeah I see those guys who carry everything on the backpack Sarah and I see the seams breaking on the bottom too. But you know it’s good place for snacks and entertainment devices…

MJ:

Nice to know I’m getting the love…but now I must be getting the sleep!

Pitts seems to have a large and sprawling campus (as some, but not most, high schools do). So the Little Freshman is going to have to hustle between classes if he needs to visit his locker, or he’s going to have to schlep a lot of stuff around with him all day! At least Bernice, now formally Miss Halper, is trying to be helpful….

No, she’s saying he’ll have to run to get to all his classes on time.

At my advanced age I have come to believe that sadistic kindergarteners are in most of the “leadship” positions in our world. At this point I have given up trying to understand them. Seems like you were in a “Catch 22” as most of us are.

This is recruiting for the Track team; hold out with slow speeds, so you’ll have a chance with the BASEBALL team!

Schools have definitely gone downhill since I had a locker. Lockers near dumpsters? Oh hell no! Completely unheard of in my time. (Late 80s)

Ha. Bernice’s new love interest. She’s gonna fall for a freshman. How embarrassing.

DonnyWallace II, shut up with the black and white crap.

well said, curmudgeon68. I totally agree. He should be removed from this thread.

probably because of idiotic racist statements like he is making on this thread.

Ah, the joy of walking around with a map your first year…

The apparent age difference between seniors and freshmen is far too great! The freshmen have been drawn resembling fourth graders.

my grandsons didn’t even sign up for lockers this year, they NEVER went to the lockers they had last year except for fishcamp day before school started. They just carry ALL their books in a backpack.

She’s not insinuating, she is telling him, one part removed, but I am sure he gets its.

I can no longer believe this strip— one week on the job and she already has a name plate on her desk! Heck, I bet they even gave her access to the Supply Cabinet!*Oh, that’s right— we were treated better in work study than we usually are on the job.

Is she related to Miss Bea Haven?^No, she ain’t Miss Bea Haven! (XD)

So, Kid? That “Wonderful, Caring , Nurturing” School Administration Gave You a Locker on the “Wrong Side of Town”, Huh?

Son, When You get Home, GO to Your Parents, APOLOGIZE to THEM for EVERYTHING Bad thing You EVER Did, and BEG Them to HOME SCHOOL YOU.

I think what Bernice is trying to tell the kid that, in order to be on time for classes, he’ll have to run fast to get from his locker to his class.

LOL!!

CRUD in the programming world is a SQL anachronism for “Create, Update, Delete”. The only three things you can do to an entry in a database.

Notice how the student looks like a mini Brad?

I guess that’s what experts mean when they say music classes ensure a well-rounded person, trained for the ’ real world’. You were trained for all the nonsense and disconnects in the real world, and, no doubt, became well-rounded (or heavily muscled)by lugging heavy loads and running to get the bus. And here I thought music classes were only about giving kids the opportunity to learn about music!

When I was in high school, everything was all in one building. There was a separate wing for the shops (technical high school), but it was connected by a hallway to the main building. It used to make sense. I don’t know what’s happened since then.

And let’s not forget: Miss LeadMiss AlignedMiss TakeMiss Hapand my favoriteMiss Tree (I read a lot of those stories, and even try to get some published. No luck so far.)

My sister had a similar problem. Her band director’s solution was to loan her various instruments. I like her teacher much better than yours.

When I was a HS freshman, I was much bigger than the senior girls. Is Evans employing symbolism here?

I wish I could find a pair right now. I actually need tri-focals, and their isn’t enough space in the little lens openings for the correction. Anyone know where oversized glasses frames can be found?

Y’know, Some people do think of her as Miz Rable…

that school has the worst layout ever

Maybe Photobug12 is suggesting that there are things we just don’t know about Brad…

Thanks!

Funny, my first thought was that the sub-text to Berniece’s council was ’it’s quite far away so you’ll have to run between classes to get anywhere on time’. We are a cynical bunch!!

All schools are strange…

“Is Bernice saying the tiny, infant freshman is going to be chased by the kids in shop and at the gym, or just the ones who hang around the dumpsters?”>No. He will have to run fast to make it to his locker and back to his next class.

“Unless his classes are all shop, gym, or in the cafeteria.” Ahh, the cafeteria…had study hall there the same time as the cafeteria workers were beginning to put lunch together (actually they were pretty good cooks!). Never could concentrate on my homework there… ;)

Amazing — more than 100 comments today!

I think Bernice forgot to tell said fresh meat * cough * I mean freshman, that the shed where resides his locker is behind a barb wired fence and the rotti’s are not friendly. But they do like fresh meat and getting their daily run.

My school district had the 7th, 8th, & 9th grades in one school and the 10th – 12th grades in the “High School”. My Junior High was a horseshoe-shaped building with four floors. Invariably, me classes and locker were on opposite sites(sometimes I would have had to descend 2 or 3 flights of stairs, get my books, and then climb back up the stairs- to the OTHER side of the horseshoe). I ended up carrying ALL my books in a backpack my entire year, EVERY day. Lockers were assigned to two students for duration of enrollment. The second week of school, my locker partner(we had to share lockers in Junior High), had a can of soda explode all over the locker … fortunately, I didn’t have anything in it at the time. Between the mess in the locker and the time I DIDN’T have to make trips from class-to-locker-to- next class, I ended up carrying my books that way for THREE years(the habit continued into High School as well). ~I won’t say that this contributed to having arthritis in my back(which I now have), but I’m certain it didn’t help prevent it.

I actually still have nightmares about not making it to class on time because I got lost.

Yes.

Who needs phys ed when you have a sprawling campus?My classes used to go from one end of Auburn to the other.

Lots of movement.
